I don’t think we’ve done a UK DECAY thread on the new T.P. (maybe on the old T.P.?), if not, i think there should be, they were an influential band that tend to get overlooked. The Punks liked them… the Post-Punk kids did too… CRASS clearly did too as they released their phenomenal ‘ Rising From The Dread’ e.p. Their gigs had an air of dark tension about them. I didn’t get to see them as much as i would have liked to. This is an early favourite - Steve Harle, one of the greatest drummers from that time. I listen to this and think… hmmmm… The Cult listened to this a lot too… Was just listening to this one Never before was so much owed by so many bands to so few

C86: Abbo & Spon in conversation with David Eastaugh UK Decay was born from another Luton band called the Resiztors, who had formed in 1978. The Resiztors' line-up consisted of guitarist Steve "Abbo" Abbott, drummer Steven David Harle, bassist Martin "Segovia" Smith and vocalists Ricky Smith and Paul Wilson. After the vocalists' departure in the spring of 1979, the remaining band members changed their name to UK Decay, with Abbott as singer (and guitarist). They soon released the Split Single 7-inch EP in partnership with fellow local band Pneumania, on their own Plastic Records label. The EP featured two tracks from each band, with UK Decay contributing "UK Decay" and "Car Crash". At the same time, some UK Decay members produced their own monthly fanzine The Suss and ran their own punk record and clothes shop called Matrix. Guitarist Steve Spon was soon recruited from Pneumania, allowing Abbo to concentrate on frontman duties. www.podbean.com/site/EpisodeDownload/PB14B61BDIEPFX

Cheers for that Stu. It's pretty much a complete history of the band and way beyond. I saw UK Decay three times. The Granary in Bristol, Futurama in Stafford and in London when they reformed. P.S. A little bird told me, 'For Madmen Only' is going to be re-released soon
