TRACKLIST 1) In the Future 2 Police Power 3) No Potential Threat 4) Society's Fodder 5) Lost Cause 6) Friday Night Hero 7) Unite and Fight 8) Suspicion ABOUT THE BAND English second-wave punk rock band from Mansfield, formed in 1981 with an initial line-up of Duncan "Dunk" Mason (vocals), Nigel "Nello" Nelson (guitar) and Paul "Pommi" Palmer (drums)... Nelson was the only one of the three with any musical experience. They were inspired by a John Peel documentary, which discussed how Desperate Bicycles took a DIY approach and decided that they could do the same... Two weeks after forming the band, they played their first gig at the King of Diamonds pub in the mining village of Shirebrook, followed a few weeks later by a gig at a local Working Mens Club, which had to be interrupted halfway through to allow the audience to play bingo... Wayne Butler saw the band perform that night and offered to join as the band's bass player. The band began playing further afield and with money borrowed from Dunk's father recorded their first demo "Religion doesn't Mean a Thing" in a basement studio in Mansfield... Dunk set up Rot Records, initially as a cassette-only label, then sold the demo at shows and via mail order to try to recoup the recording costs, eventually selling 1,500 copies. On the strength of the demo, the band were signed to Rondelet Records, who issued the band's first single "Fuck the Tories", which reached number 23 on the UK Indie Chart in August 1982 and reached the top 100 of the UK Singles Chart. Nello was replaced by 'Staz' and Rondelet re-issued the band's demo as their second EP... After a UK tour, Staz left the band, with Butler moving to guitar and 'Chedd' recruited on bass. The Rondelet label folded, prompting Dunk to turn Rot into a proper label, releasing the next three singles, although he stepped down as singer, being replaced briefly by Rick Williams and then Butler's brother Lee. In early 1984, the band released "There ain't no Solution", but musical differences within the band would cause them to split that year. Dunk compiled the Rot singles and a few unreleased tracks on the "No Potential Threat" album, which reached number 13 on the indie chart. Dunk continued to run Rot Records until the label's distributor, Red Rhino went bankrupt. The band's records became highly collectible in the years that followed, with Anagram Records releasing a CD compilation, titled "the Complete Punk Collection" (1995). The band re-formed in 2004 and in January 2006 drummer Paul Pommi Palmer and bassist Ched recruited two new members: young guitarist Luke (only 15 y.o.) and a new front-man in the form of Chiz. The new line-up was well met and played a number of dates across the country as well as Europe... They had a sharper edge and played faster and were much tighter... The group entered the studio in November 2006 to record their first album in over 20 years, titled "Persecute the Weak, Control the Strong", released in March 2007 and voted Punk Album of the Year 2007 by Fungal Punk. The band released an international 7" split on their own label (Suicide Circle) in 2008 with The Crack Babies (Sweden), The Undertakers (Belgium) and Human Battle (Greece)... This was followed up with a gig in Athens early in January 2009. They played their last gig at Rebellion Festival 2009.
