But anger was the mood of the day.Ĭostello’s first record deal came by way of his friendship with Nick Lowe, who was enjoying success in London’s pub-rock scene. He was a young singer/songwriter/bandleader whose varied influences included big band jazz (including his own trumpet-playing dad), The Beatles, Motown, Burt Bacharach, George Jones and The Clash. He wasn’t really punk he was too literate for that.
