Originally consisting of Jake Burns (vocals and guitar), Henry Cluney (guitar), Ali McMordie (bass), and Brian Faloon (drums), the band became influential in the punk movement with their raw, intense energy and politically charged lyrics. Their debut album, "Inflammable Material," was released in 1979 on the independent label Rough Trade and was the first album distributed by the label to chart on the UK Albums Chart. The record included tracks such as "Suspect Device" and "Alternative Ulster," which have since become punk anthems. Over the years, Stiff Little Fingers have undergone several lineup changes and periods of hiatus but have continued to perform and record new material. They are known for their powerful live performances, as captured on live albums like "BBC Live In Concert." The band's longevity and commitment to their music have earned them a dedicated fan base and a respected place in punk history.
