the ashes of punk band No Swastikas), with Chris Dean (vocals/guitar), Martin
Hewes (bass/backing vocals) and Nick King (drums). Chris Dean wrote for NME
magazine under the name X. Moore. Dean and Hewes were members of the Socialist
Workers Party. The band members wore skinhead clothing styles, and they helped
inspire the redskin movement. The Mekons are a British post-punk band formed in
the late 1970s as an art collective. They are one of the longest-running and
most prolific of the first-wave British punk rock bands.The band's style has
evolved over time to incorporate aspects of country music, folk music,
alternative rock and occasional experiments with dub. They are known for their
raucous live shows. The Sisters Of Mercy was a rock band formed in Leeds, UK, in
1980, by singer Andrew Eldritch and guitarist Gary Marx. Eldritch is the only
surviving member of the original line-up. The band was notoriously different on
each of their three studio albums, from media dubbed 'goth' to 'keyboards' to
'American rock'. The band is known for being one of the leaders of the '80s goth
music scene, however they deny any association with goth, and consider
themselves first and foremost a rock band. Their influences include Leonard
Cohen, The Stooges, Suicide and Motörhead. The Three Johns was a British
post-punk/indie rock band formed in 1981 and disbanded 1990. This casual Leeds
trio - Jon Langford (guitar; also leader of the Mekons, and, for the wink of an
eye, a member of the Sisters of Mercy), John Hyatt (vocals, lyrics) and John
Brennan (real name Phillip Brennan) (bass) - began by specializing in discordant
socio-political guitar punk with trembling falsetto vocals; their career-long
use of a rhythm machine which they named Hugo rather than a live drummer has
lent a unique tension to the group's sound. Newtown Neurotics was a Punk Rock
band from Harlow, formed in 1979
