Do you actually have a point?

Yes. Newbs get wrapped round the knuckles for lazy ass style posting but I hold everyone to the same minimal standard. You and me have both been here for ~15 years and we know the drill and should set an example. That’s all.

I don't give newbies a tough time, in fact I help them out if they're struggling with a source. 

And when I hear about someone passing away, my sources are from those connected professionally with the deceased.

I would have bet my life there was a post about Stevie D Davis and his liver cancer a few years back.  Maybe it was a name on some list I held back, seeing as I know Keith Jackson of the Glass Heroes and probably heard about Davis’s plight there.  
Speaking of life, Steve Davis doesn’t have any.  Age 64.

Jack Terricloth, who has led Brooklyn's World/Inferno Friendship Society for 25 years, has died at age 50. 

 

Born Pietro Ventantonio in 1970, he was first a member of Bridgewater, NJ punk band Sticks and Stones in the late '80s and early '90s before forming World/Inferno F.S. The band's first album was 1997's The True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League and they'd go on to release six more albums, the most recent of which was 2020's All Borders Are Porous to Cats. Jack was the sole constant in the group, which saw over 40 members pass through over the years.

Earlier he'd been a genuine, if minor, pioneer on the punk scene as vocalist with The Unwanted, who appeared on one of 1977's first punk albums, the live compilation The Roxy London WC2.

Julz Sale, founder and vocalist with Delta 5, reportedly dead: https://louderthanwar.com/julz-sale-delta-5-founder-rip/

 

Edit: Apparently died in Thailand, where she was a teacher of English, of cancer.

 

Part of the Rock Against Racism movement in the 80s, they weren't particularly commercially successful at the time, though John Peel did have a session with them (no, not that way).

 

However, you will probably have heard their single Mind Your Own Business on an iPhone advert:

Wait, that was an 80s band? I assumed it was some late 00s shitters like The Go Team or New Young Pony Club.

I believe the tune itself was 1979 actually, but yeah, flopped over into the 1980s.

Delta 5 were absolutely a cusp of the 80s, post-punk band. They formed as students in Leeds, and it's probably just good luck that none of their three female members got knocked on the head by the Yorkshire Ripper. After their early singles on Rough Trade they signed to a major label, but they weren't cut out for the big time and broke up.

 

Incidentally their drummer Kelvin Knight is dead too.

Rest in Peace. 

Interesting story with the name of that band:

The band was named after a tiny African primate the band found very cute called "bush babies", and a kind of fish the band liked called a "neon tetra" (taking one word from each of those names.)
