Bio:
DIY/Anarcho-punk band inspired by Crass/Conflict, associated with the Anarchy
Centre and the Warzone Collective in Belfast (see It Makes You Want To
Spit! for more information about the centre).
Links with Crass and Conflict led to appearances on the Mortarhate label and an
ill-fated tour of the UK in 1985. The same year they shared a split 12" single
with Toxic Waste released on Conflict's Mortarhate
Records in 1985 which helped establish the Warzone label.
1986 was their most successful year with several releases coming out including a
3-band Warzone Collective compilation album titled "We Will Be Free" and a
successful 3 week tour of Europe. The band split the following year.
Petesy and possibly others later involved in FUAL.
