Patrik Fitzgerald - Drifting Towards Violence (2024)

Born in London in 1958, singer/songwriter Patrik Fitzgerald ranked among the most memorable of the so-called "punk poets." He debuted in 1977 with the EP Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart, a collection combining the outrage of punk with a streak of optimism rare for its time and place; indeed, Fitzgerald's sincere attitude and eccentric appearance — commonly, a badge-cluttered blazer, red drainpipe trousers and sandals — set him squarely apart from his new wave brethren, and he was frequently the target of considerable derision from elitist audiences.
