Staggs are Michael T Scott and Paul Ridley.

They were born out of a one-off experimental remix of their own anarcho-punk track from the early 80s. The production is wholly contemporary but the anger of that era lives on in their energy, lyrical content and vocal expression. With a healthy cynicism towards British culture contained in the wealth of nostalgic samples and a bizarre smattering of French language thrown in for good measure. STAGGS give a sly “clin d’oeil” to 1970/80s Britain.
