The image captures the essence of their partnership and friendship during their time together as members of the band Rockpile. Both Nick and Dave had successful solo careers prior to forming Rockpile. Dave's chart-topping hit "I Hear You Knocking" in 1970 showcased his talent as a singer and guitarist, while Nick's infectious single "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass" in 1978 solidified his place in the music scene. Rockpile was renowned for its unique blend of pub rock, rockabilly, and power pop influences that played a significant role in shaping the new wave movement. Alongside Billy Bremner on vocals and guitar and Terry Williams on drums, they created an unforgettable sound that resonated with fans worldwide.
