Punk / metal bands from Sheff between 1986 - 1996

Recommended Posts

oh yeah, i remember trolley dog shag and hole in the wall gang :)

 

how about dumpys rusty nuts too for an older one, always used to see their posters on walls everywhere

 

They were a Sheff band? Greebo music?

 

Saw them at reading in 87. Don't remember much though, except that Dumpy came on stage on a motorbike (wow :rolleyes:)

fantastic terry!

 

that means i can begin to add more tracks. the next one i want to upload is "expose yourself" by exit, who consisted of:

 

me - bass

dave chaos - drums

andy assle - voclas

johnny gleadless - guitar

 

we were the best punk band in sheffield during the years 1990 - 1992.

 

in fact just his minute created this website, although so far had trouble uploading my favourite exit track, but some exit info is available here:

This all brings back a lot of memories...

 

Trolley Dog Shag were a grebo band - lots of hair & denim & Stooges covers - great band - their bassist, Steve Mackey, ended up in Pulp - though after a haircut & image change!

 

Dumpy played (or still does come to that) biker type blues/R&B - he didnt live in Sheffield - just played here every other week...

Melthebell,

 

Thanks for starting this thread, not only has it put me in touch with Pete from FCS to exchange memories, but has rekindled my enthusiasm for the whole band scene of the time. Its only the big names (league,ABC Cabs etc) that are ever thought of in association with Sheffield but there was a mass of musical activity in sheffield at this time. Its just unfortunate that the record company moguls seemed to visit for a fortnight before legging it to Manchester for the next 10 years.

 

Anyway I have loads of stuff by my band and many others and could contact most for permission if this sheffield website thing gets going

 

Cheers

 

Mick

true melthbell!

 

by the way, anyone who is interested in my first ever gigging band....

 

i've done a small website dedicated to them. the name was awful, the songs were passable, and i was as much of a nobhead back then as i am now!

 

well here it is....bear in mind i was only aged 13 - 15:

DUMPYS RUSTY NUTS were from down London way. I still got their album autographed from about 20 years ago (ish) :D BOX HILL OR BUST was a classic :D

any one remember the follow-up band to the fcs? we ended up with mozaz on vocals, and did only one gig, followed by a few rehearsals before we split up!

 

matty k was on guitar, ziggy starlust on bass and me on drums.

 

mozaz christened us "the all new clean f*** city s***ters", which i thought was brilliant, and he came up with fantastic lyrics.

 

here's a pic from outside the rehearsal room at cundy street, 1991:

...and just added this photo of media premonition today.

 

they were the fore-runners of slbc, pasc and psychoterrorists, although this photo was taken 12 years after the demise of this line-up of media prem:
