We’ve all been there. Quietly minding our own business and then circumstances result in us getting ever so slight off our tits thanks to ‘someone’ in the family leaving the special chocolate out without warning us about the contents. It’s a common occurrence isn’t it??
Spike Me Baby
…..tells the tale of Paul Cook’s ‘comeuppance after helping himself unknowingly to his daughters (herbally enhanced) chocolates.
His daughter, the amazing Hollie Cook features on the track with her distinctive backing vocals. Cookie went from peckish, to feeling the end was near, to sitting back and enjoying the ride – he really got spiked by his baby.
The band gained access to the empty Olympia development site, a unique location and example of Victorian iron construction, over the next years to be transformed into a Westfields style mall.
While empty the band had some fun. Check out the brand new video to accompany ‘Spike Me Baby’

SNAFU follows the release of their critically acclaimed 2017 album What In The World and is;
“Another step forward from “What in the World” but with keeping one foot planted in our old influences – bit of a stretch? Sometimes – but hopefully keeping true.” – The Professionals.
SNAFU bristles with conviction and finds The Professionals on electrifying form, delivering some of the most ballsy, honest and downright brilliant songs of their career.
To pre-order SNAFU go to: www.theprofessionalsband.com/snafu. The album will be available as a limited edition CD in a box with a poster, limited edition gold 12” vinyl and download.
Armed with unforgettable melodies and catchy choruses, Paul Cook, Tom Spencer and Toshi JC Ogwana are joined by guest guitar players Billy Duffy (The Cult) and Phil Collen (Def Leppard). along with “blinding underrated players” Jonny Weathers and Neil Ivison.
SNAFU’s 11 finely crafted songs, full of rock’n’roll attitude were produced by Dave Draper, with Paul Cook and Tom Spencer co-producing. The album is an aural treat, with no calculated image or reliance on nostalgia.
To celebrate the release of SNAFU The Professionals play 15 intimate headline shows starting on 13th October at the Forum in Tunbridge Wells and includes The Garage in London on October 24th.
Formed from the ashes of the Sex Pistols by Paul Cook and Steve Jones, The Professionals remind us that music can still be straight to the point, efficient, honest and exciting, so brace yourself for their next chapter.
