The Commandos, Live From Wormtown

    The Commandos came from the earliest days of the scene. Starting out as teenage punks in the suburb of West Boylston, they formed their own all ages club in their parents basement due to the fact they and thier fans were to young to hit the clubs. They recorded a hit 45 that to this day sells for hundreds of dollars on the internet. Along the way there were numerous line up changes, (see insert below) more recordings for Beast Records, reunion shows, gigs in Canada, allegedly stealing the guest register from Howard Johnson's in their hometown while The Clash stayed there for the Clark University show, and finally seeing their collected recordings released on  Rave Up Records in France. This interview comes from 2008 as they were preparing to play the Wormtown 25th Anniversary show at Ralph's. It Features Brian Hopper, Jeff Crane, and Sue Gillies. Jeff and Sue are still active in the music business, Brian will pour you a beer or make sure you don't step out of line at Ralph's.
