Biography
Mid 1980’s hardcore punk band from Auckland. Released a split EP with Five Year Mission in 1986, released on Positive Youth Promotions, who exclusively released the two groups music.
Their frontman Stephen Moore and original bassist Simon Blendall put together a punk zine called ‘Anarchy, Outrage and Serious Intent‘ which lasted a few issues and garnished the group some international interest. German underground label Gift of Life released the groups final release (of their original run), the 1987 EP ‘Inner Space‘.
Raw wall-of-sound aggression from out of New Zealand which harbors a power-packing punch in its medium-paced drive. Both bands deliver similarities with catchy harmonies and flowing chord melodies, capturing a good sing-along energy. Two fine bands on this promising debut.
