Lacking Any Musical Experience The First Thing They Did Was To Book A Gig Then Set Off To A Rehearsal Studio To Record Their First Single On A Cassette Recorder. “Initially We Had Little Interest In Making “music” We Were Interested In Sound And Noise. I Had A Cheap Guitar And A Collection Of 2nd Hand Tape Recorders And Nag Had A Cheap Synth. It Was An Advantage That We Couldn’t Play Anything. When The Guy Running The Rehearsal Studio Proclaimed That We Were The “worst Band He Had Ever Heard” We Took It As A Complement And Drunkenly Carolled His Sentiment Back To Him. And Recorded That Too.” – Bendle The First Single ‘Don’t Kill Colin EP’ Came From The Pressing Plant In Plain White Labels And Sleeves.
