Anti Establishment Formed as Cardiac Arrest in Epping,
Essex, in 1978. They changed their name when found out about another band with
same name. They recorded three singles, all produced by Rat Scabies. Their
original bassist Matt Johnson later founded The The. Band Members
Were Gavin Griton - voice, Kevin "Gluey"Read - bass, Nick Freeston - drums,
Haggis - guitar. Special Duties was created in October 1977 by schoolfellows
Steve Green (Aka Arrogant), Steve Norris (Aka Duty) and Nigel Baker. They were
punks at school, but the idea of forming their own band came when they saw The
Adverts in Colchester. The fact that the three schoolboys couldn't play and
didn't own any instruments didn't discourage them. They decided to put Arrogant
on vocals, Duty on guitar and Baker on Bass. The band was originally going to be
named X-pelled, but they switched to Special Duties when a box of around 200
badges with "Special Duties" printed on them which had been stolen from a school
in Colchester came into their possession.
