Dan (13)

British anarcho punk band formed in Darlington, U.K. by vocalist Andrew Bayles and bassist Ian Armstrong in 1983. The band had a very fluid membership which included (according to an insert in the 7' EP Can You Dig It?) these 18 people prior to 1986: Dallas, Slob, Ian, Steely, Sned, Helen, Jane, Simon, Andrew, Dave, Paul, Pete, Ian T., Derek, Mandy, Les, Georgie and Wal. It went on to say "There might have been a few more.."

In an interview with website Negative Insight, Bayles states he recorded with the band on the Can You Dig It? EP but left the group after the recording of debut Where Have All the Children Gone?. (He is possibly credited on the EP as simply "Andrew" though that could be Andrew Black. "Andy the Lionhearted" is credited on Where Have All the Children Gone? though that could also be engineer Andy Tillison.) He also confirmed and expanded on the lineup information from Can You Dig It?:"We went thru' various other singers including Helen and Jane, Dave S. and Joy and a couple of guitarists: Slob, Andrew Black. We also had a guy called Steely on drums and, after I’d left, they finally got their shit together with a guitarist called Wal and started taking the band more seriously. Female singers Jools and Georgie are singing on the albums and singles, although I think Jools was the longest serving and did the most gigs."
