To say that Mick Farren was a "jack of all trades" is putting it mildly. 

Starting out as a member of British psych rockers the Deviants, Farren traversed a long and winding career 

that included such occupational descriptors as singer, journalist, novelist, nonfiction author, and -- some might say -- 

philosopher and social critic. The singer and founding member of the Deviants, he left that band in 1969 

to pursue other musical goals in one of the bigger names in proto-punk, the Pink Fairies

One of the key albums made on the periphery of the late-1970s punk explosion, Deviants frontman Mick Farren's 

return to raw rock, following most of a decade spent in journalism, was less a timely resurrection than 

it was a vicious reminder that none of this new noise was actually very new. He'd been doing exactly the same stuff 

a decade before, and would still be doing it two decades hence. In the 1960s, after all, the Deviants depicted 

the underside of the peace and love rhetoric by asking just one simple question: what will happen if the revolution succeeds? 

In the 2000s, they pinpoint the formless agitation which has sucked the optimism out of everything. 

And in the 1970s, Farren solo snagged the tabloid nihilism which now dominated the punk scene, 

and played it up for all it was worth. Vampires was released hot on the heels of one of the most glorious singles of the era, 

the seething teen riot anthem "Let's Loot the Supermarket Again Like We Did Last Summer"; indeed, 

combine that one track with the best bits of Vampires and there's probably no better illustration of Farren's 

(continued) ability to press the pulse of the period. Possibly unintentionally, and now certainly unbelievably, 

Vampires marks the closest Farren has ever strayed towards becoming a true commercial proposition. 

He opens the album with a Frank Zappa cover...... there's a definite conceptual angle here, 

and a rewarding game of spot the rock star, too, as Farren ropes in Chrissie Hynde, Wilco Johnson, 

Curved Air's Sonja Kristina, Pink Fairy, Larry Wallis, and sundry past and future Deviants to add to the dyspeptic ambience. 

It's probably the least essential album in Farren's canon, distilling his dark visions into bite sized morsels 

of fairly catchy poppy songs. But it is also the most enjoyable; a rolling, boiling, 

sassy swagger which makes only one persistent demand on the listeners...(AllMusic)
