The Monks (UK band)
Their first album, "Bad Habits", was recorded and released in 1979 after the success of "Nice Legs Shame About Her Face", which reached number 19 in the UK Singles Chart. The song was a demo that was not intended for release. It was offered to another band who turned it down before a French record label released it in its original form. Ford later commented in "Mojo" magazine that "it was a bit of a problem when it was a hit." The album failed to produce further UK chart success, however — the British punk audience turned against the band, dismissing them as inauthentic punks, once it became widely known that they had been associated with the Strawbs. In an appearance on the television programme "Juke Box Jury", Johnny Rotten derided the Monks as "patronizing rubbish" and as a poor imitation of The Sex Pistols.
