	Chris Hunt \| Mod Revival
		The ‘mod special’; trailed on the cover devoted four pages to the lives of the originals modernists, but tellingly two further pages were given over to the new wave of mods, featuring bands like the Purple Hearts and The Chords.
		It would be Secret Affair who dragged the ‘Mods Mayday’ album into the charts for a one-week stay at Number 75 later in the year, but by this time they were already a Top 20 singles act and had long since taken their vision around the country with the March Of The Mods package tour.
		But just as the mod revival was at it peak, with all the main players signed to major deals and queuing up to follow Secret Affair and the Merton Parkas into the charts, suddenly the fans were given another, less challenging option.

	Mod (lifestyle) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mod (or, to use its full name, Modernism or sometimes Modism) was a lifestyle based around fashion and music that developed in London, England in the late 1950s and reached its peak in the early to mid 1960s.
		Mods were obsessed with clothes and music, including Black American RandB and Soul, Jamaican Ska, and Bluebeat and a select few British groups such as The Beatles, the Small Faces, the Kinks, The Spencer Davis Group and The Who.
		Mods made up (and continue to make up) a large proportion of the Northern soul movement, a subculture based on obscure American soul records from the 60's and 70's.

	Mod Revival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mod Revival, sometimes known as Punk Mod, is a name given to a genre of rock music in the late 1970s and early 1980s, mainly centred in Southern England.
		Although not strictly a Mod revival band, The Vapors, were often seen as allied with it, and were championed by Bruce Foxton of the Jam.
		Various Mod Revival members such as Paul Weller were to form The Style Council, a mid-1980s Soul influenced band, and Weller would later be nicknamed "The Modfather" for his idolisation by the Britpop movement.

	Uppers
		Mod began with a few cliques of teenage, predominately Jewish, men with family connections to the garment trade in London in 1958-59.
		The new Mods, and their music, were celebrated by the British music press as the phenomenon that would replace Punk as the dominant force in music and youth culture.
		In northern California, enthusiasm was revived among older Mods, and britpop-inspired youths had swollen their ranks to the point were the monthly “Mod Night” at Kate O’Brien’s pub drew crowds of one to three hundred for over a year.

		Furthermore, since most of the original mods only performed in cover bands (with the exception of the aforementioned groups) or simply danced to Motown records, the revival was the first wave of mod bands to rely on original material.
		Despite its brief time in the spotlight, the mod revival had a lasting impact on British pop music, as many of the most popular English rock bands of the '80s and '90s -- from the Smiths to Blur and Oasis -- was indebted either to the Jam or to the movement in general.
		All Mod Cons was a major success, peaking at number six on the U.K. charts, even if it didn't make a dent in the U.S. Every one of the band's singles were now charting in the Top 20, with the driving "Eton Rifles" becoming their first Top Ten in November 1979, charting at number three.

	The Mod Revival - Nostalgia Central
		The album was of course, All Mod Cons, which was smothered in the iconography of the 60's cult which had so impacted on the young Paul Weller three years earlier.
		By coincidence, probably the most influential Mod band from the original 60's scene were in the process of making a film about the original teenage experience - based in their West London haunt of Shepherds Bush - through the eyes of a Mod.

		Actually loved the photo's of the average mod, parka and all...'cos that's what most Mods were, particularly in the early days and to pretend everyone was into jazz, obscure R'n'B, coffee shops and hand made shoes wouldn't be accurate.
