The Rise and Fall of The Sex Pistols

A series where the name of the podcast perfectly reflects its contents. “Few bands have burned as brightly or as briefly as The Sex Pistols,” says musician Gina Birch. 

Weaving together an engaging news and interview archive, Birch and the 6 Music broadcaster Steve Lamacq explore the band’s influences, impact and legacy. At the heart of the series, the series examines how The Sex Pistols were a result of a country that at the time was falling apart, with economic and industrial unrest on top of political and societal divisions.
