The Sex Pistols was a British punk band in the 1970's. They are considered to be the band that initiated the punk rock movement in the U.K.
They were blatantly liberal, and made fun of Conservative's pro-life beliefs with their song "Bodies", from their "Never Mind The B******s" album.
The band was originally comprised of vocalist Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and bassist Glen Matlock, although new bassist Sid Vicious was drafted into the band when Matlock left. Despite popular belief, no one in the band took drugs excluding Sid Vicious, and Vicious only used drugs in the presence of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen.
The Sex Pistols, in their early days, used the term "anarchist" for shock value, and helped shaped the way anarchy was perceived in the public eye. They also made fun of Christians by calling themselves "antichrists", for which they were beat up for on several occasions. However, they are still a balanced, wholesome band, and they teach core values such as not lying, being loyal, following your dreams, and leaving the innocent alone.
