"Failed pop group trying to muscle in on folk music to get the success which has eluded them thus far."

Oh Eric, how deeply wrong you are. Try this instead "Anarchist punk collective who had a huge live following and a number of respectably selling albums under their belt prior to their one fluke worldwide hit (most of the proceeds of which they gave away to causes they supported). Even on their first album the folk influence was there. One of their early albums - long before the hit - was the very folky English Rebel Songs."

Now please go and stand in the corner facing the wall...
