Description

Exit-Stance were an AnarchoPunk band from Milton Keynes, UK.

Formed in 1982 from an earlier band called ‘Fuck Authority’, by members Mark ‘Jevs’ Jeavons, Dave Paul, and Sean Finnis. The band then brought in sixteen-year-old drummer, Andy Williams, allowing Mark to go back to being bassist. The band then decided to record a small set and had their friend Tom Dallen help them go on a small tour. They were eventually banned from playing gigs for displaying disturbing art behind themselves on the walls, that attacked religion.

Back home the band received a call from Colin Jerwood of Conflict, who invited the band down to Alaska Studios to record a track for a compilation.They managed to record their song fast enough to record several more songs, which were ultimately released as their first E.P. titled Crime Against Humanity.

While Backs Are Turned… 12″ was released in 1986,and a tour was played with Conflict to promote it. The tour involved several gigs were they had to fight back against constant threats from skinheads and the police. Unfortunately, the band became disillusioned with the scene. They did begin working on their next album, but split while writing new material.

This is the recent reissue of their 12″ on Radiation records.
