The Gorillas were an energetic R&B band from West London (Hammersmith) who were fronted by the amazing Jessie Hector. Although not really a punk band, they captured spirit of the time with their incredible live performances. In Jessie they had a truly great front man who came over like a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Noddy Holder.
