He said: ‘What else are you going to do as a teenager? You’re going to scream at people one way or another. You might as well do it in a productive way. Was my logic.’
When asked to name the band, Regé refused as he joked: ‘There’s only so far that one pulls back the dark and very well placed covers of their teenage indiscretions.
‘But it was good fun. It was a healthy place to have opinions, and have them very, very loudly.’
Regé lived in North London as a teenager after growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe. He then spent lots of his 20s in LA.
