No, which is weird as a couple of them are easily contactable, too bad, the 1st EP is a stone cold classic.

(almost ALL the other bands included in those books were distributed or whatever through cherry red) No, I don't think thats it, I know Ian Glasper pretty well, and there are loads of bands featured not Cherry Red distributed - Discharge, GBH, English Dogs, Criminal Justice, Legion Of parasites etc..... Just think like Infa Riot, maybe they want to forget those good (Bad) old days |

My #1 nomination for missing bands in BB:
The Transistors
Those two great 7"s and yet not even a mention? While there are a few far more obscure groups included that never made it vinyl at all, like Ugen Kampf (though they did go on to Barbed Wire.)
I would think 2 Fingered Approach would be mentioned at least, though perhaps they were more on the anarcho side of things so maybe in Day the Country Died. And both Skin Deeps (the Football Violence" band, as well as the band on Link's Resurrection comp who later went ska on the "more than Skin Deep" LP) may have been too much on the skinhead side of things, which Ian does confess deserves a book of its own written by someone more familiar with that scene. (I suppose George Marshall's Skinhead Nation is arguably the closest equivalent.) It did seem weird, though, that Infa Riot got barely more than a passing mention. And in all fairness, while I'm not for including WP/RAC bands, Brutal Attack would actually deserve mention, for both sharing a drummer with the Straps at one point as well as initially putting out some great uk82 material very early on. I got a bootleg recently of a live set in Brixton from '82 and it's surprisingly damn good, no kidding, even for a live recording, they had some really good abrasive songs before they morphed into the metal-influenced Nazi clowns they would be remembered as...
Also, what's up with the Aborted, by the way? I still can't find the No Rules 7" (Chaos Records), never even seen a picture of it.

Crux, Crash and 1st Offence all get brief mentions in BB, and I think 6 Minute War is mentioned in Day the Country Died, for their connection to Fallout.
Post Mortem is a good one. Great single, as well as the "lost" tracks they recorded for Beat the System that never became a single. I've wondered whether Ian may have tried to track down some of those bands, but may have come up empty-handed and decided to omit them entirely for lack of any info.

I never did understand the Accursed...they looked the part, great song titles and all, cool looking albums, and for some reason out of 3 LPs and a single couldn't put together one decent tune to save their lives. Seriously, how does a band get 3 whole LPs financed and released (yet only one 7") and go utterly nowhere? That's not to say they don't hold a certain charm; I even was wearing an Accursed shirt at Morecambe HITS in 2005, god help me...Maybe they hit the lottery or something? And then there's the 2 albums Steve Hall did as the Afflicted Man ("I'm Off Me 'ead" & "Get Stoned Ezy"), the 2 singles the Afflicted put out (the first in multiple picture sleeve variations even...) Very oddly prolific for a gang of evo-sniffers. They barely even seemed to get reviews even, though I remember a writer in Punk Lives referring to them (and Disorder) as retards. I know Steve Hall still does music today, though of the folky Jesus-saved-me-halleluiah variety.

I would think 2 Fingered Approach would be mentioned at least, though perhaps they were more on the anarcho side of things so maybe in Day the Country Died. Two Fingered Approach were simply too regional, they were too obscure, barely anyone knew they had a 7" out at all, In fact when I saw them supporting Xtract and Subhumans in 83 they were pretty decent. The 7" itself was weird as well (And I'm kicking myself now as I sold my copy some 15 years ago) - It was put out by a mate of theirs called Schweppes (real name Anton) and around 1989 when he lived in Bradford I happened to be talking to him on the way to a gig in the back of a van, and somehow we got talking about TFA, and he told me he put their 7" out Anyway, to cut a long story short, he had 100 copies left out of those pressed, and we stopped off at his mothers place on the way back (A mobile home on a caravan site) and he pulled out of a cupboard a copy for me, to see all those copies there kind of freaked me out. Wish I knew where he was now the fucker...  The Accursed's third album, and the Going Down 7" are killer by the way, first two albums sadly below average, but Steve Hall was a killer singer and guitarist |
