	BMX Bandits - Biography - AOL Music
		They were essentially the vehicle of singer/guitarist Duglas T. Stewart, a Bellshill native and onetime member of the Pretty Flowers; he formed the band in 1985, sarcastically selecting the name "BMX Bandits" out of his belief that they would fall apart after only one gig.
		By the follow-up, "What a Wonderful World," both McArdle and Dickson had exited, and were replaced by ex-Boy Hairdressers bassist Joe McAlinden and drummer Francis McDonald; Dickson soon founded his own band, the Soup Dragons, the first of many BMX Bandits spin-offs to eclipse the original group's success.
		Blake returned to the Bandits fold, however, for 1991's Star Wars, also recorded with ex-Vaselines frontman Eugene Kelly; after the 1992 EP Gordon Keen and His BMX Bandits, Keen and Kelly broke off to form Captain America, later rechristened Eugenius, and McAlinden founded Superstar.

	Bmx Bandits - My Chain :: Not Lame Recordings - power pop and melodic rock record label, music and CDs
		His voice is still a wheezy adolescent warble, he still gives the feel of an eternal teenage obsessed with silly jokes and the small details of love and life, and he still loves the Beach Boys, soft rock and jangling guitar pop and uses these influences very well.
		There aren`t many bands who get the balance of cute lyrics with dead serious ones, plinky keyboards and cheesy drum machines with fully strummed guitars and lush guitars or cringingly personal observations and laugh out loud funny jokes, as right as Stewart and his friends do.
		BMX Bandits released their first single in 1986 and in 2006 they release their 14th album MY CHAIN.

	The Ultimate C86 - American History Information Guide and Reference (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Many of the bands often referred to as being 'C86' weren't even on the compilation, such as The Poohsticks, Talulah Gosh, The June Brides or the BMX Bandits who in 1989 released an album called C86.
		Furthermore, many of the bands who were on the compilation had a much harder punkier sound that was completely at odds with the jangly guitars and strong melodies of the 'C86' bands.
		Its influence was somewhat discreet among the bands who came to the fore during the Britpop era and the less melodic bands that emerged as part of the 'New Rock Revolution' that came after the post-Britpop hiatus of the new century.

	the Pastels - chickfator interview
		I think bands like bmx bandits and the vaselines were kind of encouraged by us and we were in a position to help those bands and it was a natural think to do.
		and a band like teenage fanclub has obviously reached many more people than the pastels, it's a band I really love and you know, their music really deserves to be heard, so when norman was starting a band with raymond after the boy hairdressers I really tried to help them.
		a band like stereolab is really inspiring for us cause they're doing what they want to do and they've got their own vision and they're quite uncompromising too, and they're being successful.

	BMX Bandits Down at the Hop Alternative Music @ Eclectic Honey.com
		BMX Bandits have most certainly inspired a generation of bands, so it’s no surprise that Down at the Hop echoes many of today’s finest purveyors of melodic folk-pop.
		But the mere fact that the Bandits are still going strong with such a stunning album as this, is a sign that they do alt-country better than most.
		But the band’s endeavours are rewarded in the shape of a freshness and upbeat energy that excels.

	IMDb user comments for BMX Bandits (1983) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		BMX Bandits is something like an Australian version of the Hardy Boys (plus one girl) mystery on wheels.
		Nicole Kidman is a star and her fellow BMX bandits form a fun team but it's the pursuing criminals that steal the show with their manic and obviously improvised actions and dialogue.
		The BMX - the "cycle" - becomes a metonym for life itself, turning as if a wheel on the caprices of youthful abundance and fecundity, to end its superficial existence as a superannuated fad must perish, in a dwindle to aged redundancy.

	>>>Indiepop.it: BMX Bandits
		Sebbene non ve ne sia motivo, in molti considerano i BMX Bandits una band sfortunata, un gruppo di passaggio, segnato da una proverbiale serie di occasioni perdute (a cominciare dalla mancata partecipazione alla compilation C86).
		Rimasto con un pugno di canzoni e senza una band con la quale registrarle, mise insieme un nastro con l'aiuto di Francis McDonald ed ebbe la fortuna (visto?) di spedirle a Stephen Pastel, che proprio in quei giorni faceva muovere i primi passi alla sua 53 and 3rd, garantendo così un insperato futuro alla band.
		Ne consegue che i BMX bandits di Creation sono un'altra band: sanno ancora essere sbilenchi, cantare dei loro amori sfortunati, interpretare le varie istanze indiepop dell'inghilterra di metà anni 80 fra tenere chitarre, esplosioni floreali e fuzz guitars.

	Review of BMX Bandits / Eugene Kelly / The Starlets – Bush Hall 4th October 2003
		Having been in The Vaselines, Captain America/Eugenius, BMX Bandits etcetc (told you it was a tangled web) Eugene Kelly tells us he’s now trying out for the position of new Man in Black.
		After last year’s ripsnorting return to the popkid fray, BMX Bandits have decided to hang around and release a new album, ‘Down At The Hop’, and tonight they walk amongst us again with their delirious, sparkling poptunes and the delirious, sparkling Duglas.
		Opening up their big ole hamper of Glasgow Beat which is filled with a heaping helping of songs from supernew LP ‘Down At The Hop’, BMX Bandits thrill our wildly beating little indie hearts.

	BMX Bandits Movie -The 80s Rewind «
		When P.J. and Goose (no their parents weren't weird, it's BMX talk) accidentally crash into a line of shopping trolleys that Judy (played by a young Nicole Kidman) is supposed to be taking care of but Fat Kid pushes them across the supermarket's carpark to annoy Judy, their bikes are totalled and Judy is sacked.
		Original 80s BMXs in good condition can be worth a bundle now as they're sought after by people who were kids back then and now they're older and have money want that bike they could never get.
		It was also released under the name "BMX, The Movie" in Australia, so if you see a PAL VHS of that name it may not necessarily be a bootleg.

		To date, the band’s sizable discography includes seven proper albums and a number of EPs, singles, and compilation tracks (and in 2003 a "Retrospective" release on JetSet), but Teenage Fanclub has never had a single chart on the US Billboard Top 40.
		The usual trajectory for a band over ten years old seems to be to release the “good” records early in the career and then fade into obscurity, releasing records that are sub-par to pure shit.
		The band’s songs are an incentive for movement from the listener.

		Cheeky Monkey take the squeezably soft folk-pop route (think Evan Dando); the BMX Bandits survey the vintage pop spectrum, from brisk bubblegum ("Nuclear Summertime") to Flamin' Groovies-style garage growl ("We're Gonna Shake You Down") to starry-eyed balladry ("I Wanna Fall in Love").
		Theme Park was produced by legendary weirdo-pop avatar Kim Fowley, whom BMX Bandits main man Duglas Stewart describes as a thoroughly intimidating, thoroughly compelling personality.
		Both the BMX Bandits and Cheeky Monkey are joined at the hip by Francis Macdonald, who used to drum for Glasgow's biggest Big Star devotees, Teenage Fanclub.

		Gigs can be a big disappointment: you pay lots of money and you might end up having to go through agonising supporting acts before getting to the real reason why you went to the gig, the headliners, who might as well disappoint you.
		Highlight of their set is the Pilot dragging Duglas BMX Bandit on the stage and improvising while Duglas sings BMX Bandits' hit "Serious Drugs".
		The Pilot and his band are real fun and Vinita adds an aura of holiness to the whole set when she sings a prayer without any instruments accompanying her.

	BMX Bandits Interview #1
		Interview #1 : Life Goes On Our first ever interview with the magnificent BMX Bandits was around the release of their finest hour, the single 'Serious Drugs'.
		Like I think most people in Scotland know the history of the band and know how a few other bands developed out of the BMX Bandits and in places like Japan, Europe and America we're not seen as this kind of joke band at all so it doesn't really bother me at all.
		I thought bands like Sonic Youth would start and be a lot more successful and too a certain extent that's only happened a little bit.

		The fourth BMX Bandits album, 1995's Gettin' Dirty, breaks with tradition by finally establishing a fully fledged band who contributes to every track instead of gathering a nebulous collection of friends surrounding singer/songwriter Duglas T. Stewart.
		As a result, Gettin' Dirty is the first BMX Bandits album with a consistent sound and feel.
		While none of the tunes are as completely swell as "Serious Drugs," the highlight from the previous year's Life Goes On, there's also a refreshing lack of the half-baked filler that marred previous BMX Bandits efforts.
