Welcome to the Chaotic Beginnings of Punk Rock
by Hannah Chambers
THE YEAR IS 1975. PUNK HAS TAKEN LONDON’S YOUTH BY STORM, AND THE SEX PISTOLS ARE RIGHT IN THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE. THEIR MISSION? AS STEVE JONES (PORTRAYED BY TOBY WALLACE) TELLS US IN THE PISTOL TRAILER: "WE’RE NOT INTO MUSIC. WE’RE INTO CHAOS.”
FX’s Pistol follows Jones' life from his unruly West London upbringing to the moment he formed the Sex Pistols, consisting of Johnny Rotten (Anson Boon), Paul Cook (Jacob Slater), and Glen Matlock (Christian Lees), who was eventually replaced by Sid Vicious (Louis Partridge).
