Along with the Ruts, 999 typified the lesser known British Punk of the late 70s. Pure energy and style and some classic tracks. "I'm Alive", "Emergency" and "Homicide" to name but three that will live long in the memory. Also similar to the Ruts, 999 built much of their following through gigging the down and dirty venues around Southall in West London. 999 never showed the same reggae influences as the Ruts though, maintaining a 'pure punk' sound throughout.
