On this day in 1985 Strawberry Switchblade were cover stars of Melody Maker. After being on the front of Smash Hits a month earlier, this was only the second time they graced a cover, & their first in the 'serious' UK weekly music press.
The interview's an great overview of the band, covering personal history, punk influences, the band's progress and hatred of the Tories.

"KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 — Malaysian contemporary artist Red Hong Yi's artwork on climate change was featured on the cover of the latest Time Magazine issue.
For the cover, the Sabahan artist created a 2.3m x 3m world map covered by 50,000 green-tipped matchsticks.
The green matchsticks symbolising trees were set alight to highlight how climate change can affect and destroy the world."
