Artist description Classic late '70's Punk. Songs that were never longer than three minutes (usually nearer 2 minutes). Never containing more than four chords. If you want to hear some of the original stuff from the time when Punk was still new, you have come to the right place. This is pure punk as it was back in the late 1970's Written at the time, performed in a studio in 1978 where we did one off takes of each song. Back in the time when Greenday were still a spermatozoa floating around in their fathers scrotums and the so called second wave of punk hadn't even begun. Forget about your Blink 182s and Sum 41's this is where it all began! Although, we have to say! we think Greenday Kick Ass!!! For Americans that is...

Artist History The band was formed in 1978 in the upstairs room of Thamesmead Youth Club. Original members were Wayne Lewis (Vocals), Steve Barber (Drums). Norm Fasey was in another local band called The Violators with Wayne and heard Steve and Wayne rehearsing in the 'Youthie' He went home and got his guitar, went back to the 'Youthie' and immediately joined the band. Wayne Lewis and Norm Fasey were the main writing team in the band. Soon after they were joined by another ex Violator Martin Fasey (Brother of Norm) and then the line up was complete. The band did a small tour of Britain supporting a band called The Bears who were signed to Good Vibrations Records. . Sadly the band split by 1980 after becoming disillusioned by the whole Punk Scene which was becoming too commercialised. Where are they now??? Wayne is a successful Managing Director in the Advertising Industry. He lives in Essex. Norm is a Technical Consultant in the IT industry. He lives in Luton. Martin is a Lorry Driver for a major food chain. He lives in Slade Green, Kent. As for Steve... Where is 'Narrot The Carrot'? So, we didn't all grow up to be fat bastard bank managers!
