Having easily recruited bandmate, Rhodes, from THE DOMESTICS (and UNICORN FART SUGAR), the idea was cemented into ANTI CIMEX legend Charlie Claesson’s head on a day out drinking in Gothenburg on THE DOMESTICS’  2017 Euro tour. Matt Woods (ex-REVENGE OF THE PSYCHOTRONIC MAN) was recruited next at a gig in Salford later that year and Eddie (THE FILAMENTS, PERSONNEL, THE SHITTY LIMITS) a few months after that. So that was it – it looked like a full band so now I had had to front up and write some material – songs that were going to be virtually impossible to rehearse as a group with members spread across the UK and Sweden. Bri Talbot (from crust punk luminaries DOOM and SORE THROAT) and Studio 1 in 12 in Bradford were booked for recording the debut 7” E.P., Wretched Life, and it just seemed natural to ask Bri to join too. And he did.

The 7" sold out in a flash, and we upped the ante by releasing the Crushed Down to Paste mini LP in July 2020, integrating the saxophone into the maelstrom more fully than on Wretched Life whilst maintaining the fury of the debut. Fast forward to 2021, and the eleven song, forty minute LP (title TBC) has actually been written and demoed before Crushed Down to Paste was even released.  We'd intended to have released it by the end of 2021, but due to the Covid19 pandemic, have been unable to record it.  Never ones to take an obvious path, we released Carved Up For Yuks, in 2021. it's a 28 minute 12″ of radical remixes that I did of tracks from the first two records. Described as sounding like “Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and King Tubby fighting over how to mix a Discharge record”, it has surprised, horrified, and delighted  in equal measure.
