Description
Punk band formed in Southport, Sefton, Merseyside, England, UK. (1979 / 1986)
Initially started with a load of mates knocking about together coming out of the legendary Eric’s club Liverpool where they all went to the matinees on a Saturday except for Collo who was a bit older and hit the pUnK scene with full force because he could . Mick’s old school mate Andy Carroll was involved in the early days as manager , he also was involved with sleeve artwork and created the band’s logo as well as taking some of the sleeve pictures . Andy signed Mayhem to Riot City Records of Bristol which led to touring with Vice Squad . Numerous independent gigs went on with support for The Exploited as well as the Dead Kennedys .
As ever band members switch about with other local groups and Mayhem members were also with Blitzkrieg and The Insane .
This is their first 7″ from 1982, original on Riot City. VG++/VG++
