 RC: How did you meet John Squire?

IB: John lived up the same road. We started hanging out together about thirteen/fourteen. He was into the Beach Boys and the Beatles but he didn't have any proper LPs, just compilations – that one with the surfer on the front and "Hollywood Bowl". I took around the first Clash LP and an Adverts single.

RC: And then you formed the Patrol?

IB: Yeah, that was about a year later – me on bass, Si Wolstencroft on drums, who's now with the Fall and was also in the Colour Field. He was the original Smiths drummer, too, but he left because he thought Morrissey was a weirdo! And Andy Couzens, who was later the rhythm guitarist in the Roses, was the singer.
