Stevie Sharp And The Clean Cuts

Retro-Inspired Rock n Roll Group

Over the years, collectors like myself have searched high and low for this band and no concrete information could ever be found. The little bit of information that we did have came from Mick Walker of the Circles. He once said that back in 1979 his then manager telephoned him up one night and asked how the Mods chant went that took place on the seafront in the film QUADROPHENIA. So Mick sang "WE ARE THE MODS, WE ARE THE MODS" down the telephone line. Mick asked why he wanted to know and his manager said "I Just Got An Idea". Mick then never gave it another thought until Detour Records spoke about it back in 1999. Fast forward fifteen odd years from when Dizzy Holmes first started trying to find this band and then the info just dropped into his lap. Stevie Sharp was actually in a punk band called The Victims and appeared on there very own Bored Teenagers #8 compilation album as well as being on the front cover. This happened just by chance as he was talking to one of the ex members of The Victims and asked him if he knew another local Punk band called The Rowdies as the singer was Steve Sharp as he was looking to track them down regarding a single Detour Records wanted to re-issue. He said he didn't know the band but Stevie Sharp that he was looking for was in his band! So there you go... Stevie Sharp And The Clean Cuts were a short lived band that were a trio of musicians from the Midlands and they DID EXIST!
