England's Skint

PUNK COLLECTORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS BAND DUE TO THE FACT THEY SELF RELEASED THEIR DEBUT SINGLE BACK IN 1979 WHEN RELEASING YOUR OWN RECORD WAS THE NORM… COMING FROM MANCHESTER AND ORIGINALLY CALLED THE STANCE WAY BACK IN 1977. THEY PLAYED CONSTANTLY AROUND THE MANCHESTER GIG CIRCUIT AND EVEN VENTURED DOWN TO LONDON TO DO A FEW GIGS. DEMO TAPES WERE SENT OUT TO ALL THE PRESS AND RECORD LABELS… SADLY NOTHING CAME OF THEIR EFFORTS APART FROM GARRY BUSHELL GIVING ONE OF THEIR TRACKS A THUMBS UP IN SOUNDS IN SEPTEMBER ‘78… AFTER PLAYING ALONG SIDE ALL THEIR COUNTERPARTS THE BUZZCOCKS, WARSAW (AKA JOY DIVISION), SLAUGHTER & THE DOGS ETC THEY WERE LEFT ON THE SHELF. NOT TO BE PUT OFF, THEY DECIDED TO CHANGE THEIR NAME AFTER MIKE THE SINGER BECAME ILL AND NEEDED STEROIDS! SO THE STEROID KIDDIES WERE BORN… THE NEXT TWO YEARS THE BAND SLOGGED ON AND PLAYING MANY GIGS BUT SADLY THE FAME NEVER BECKONED AND CALLED IT A DAY IN ‘81. THE BAND SPLINTERED INTO OTHER BANDS BUT STILL REMAINED GOOD FRIENDS. ROGER JOINED A LATER VERSION OF THE DRONES AND GEOFF JOINED THE OUT.
