FIN
RECORDS
Fin Records was a DIY label. It
managed one single. It issued singles in FIN-0 numerical
series. Basking Sharks were a synthesiser band that formed in 1980.
Members Adrian Todd, Ged McPhail and Martyn Eames toured extensively throughout
the UK. They used a variety of home-made electronic instruments supplemented by
second hand synths that had been customised to provide unique sounds. On stage
they always played “live” without the use of backing tracks. Their stage act
included a slide show, films and computer visuals synced in to the stage
performance. Their music merged power pop with European influences and
experimentation. In 1987 they separated to pursue different projects.
Adrian and Martyn formed the industrial technical band Degree 33. Ged
moved to Newcastle joining Madam X. Today Adrian and Martyn are
working on a new project encompassing old and new technology with a view to
live performance and internet release. Ged is developing a recording studio in
South Korea. Basking Sharks are still a performing unit but play rarely.
