Who can forget “Wild Thing”? The Troggs have always been remembered for this 60s anthem, but it is just one of their many UK hits. “With A Girl Like You”, “I Can’t Control Myself”, “Anyway That You Want Me”, “Give It To Me” and “Love Is All Around”. They all followed in rapid succession to give The Troggs worldwide acclaim. Dubbed by many as the “first British punk band” they have continued playing in their own uncompromising style of good basic rock music.
The Troggs still features founder member and guitarist Chris Britton and bassist Peter Lucas (who first joined the band in 1974) and drummer Dave Maggs, who has been with the band over 25 years.
When Reg Presley passed away Chris Britton decided to keep the band going and recruited the vocal talents of 60s veteran Chris Allen.
