Rockers

The Rockers dates back to the Sixties with The Druids, The Mood and Lompoc. These bands were formed out of our love for Rock and Roll. In the 1950's and 1960's there were two groups, the mods and the rockers. They became rival gangs for a number of different reasons. Rockers enjoyed Rock and Roll, and their style consisted of jeans, boots and leather jackets. They loved driving motorcycles where the mods preferred scooters (That the Rockers called "Hairdryers"). They wore black leather and studs and had anti-authority beliefs. The Rockers lived for the present, with a scruffy, masculine, ‘bad boy’ image. The Rockers were essentially from the working class and despised any fashion. They each had the same hairstyle, shaggy with a bit of slick to it.

The music they listen to became a way of life for them. It is what we would refer to today as Heavy metal.
