Lost Cherrees are an anarcho-punk band from Sutton, Surrey.

History

They were formed in 1981 (under the name Zyclon C) by Dave Greaves (guitar) and Steve Battershill (drums). In 1982, Siân Jeffreys joined as the vocalist, and they changed their name to Lost Cherrees. Dave left the band and Andy Rolfe took his place as guitarist, Steve began playing bass and Nuts (Warren Samuels) joined as the new drummer. Other members over the years included Beverley Cook Abbott (vocals), Debbie McKenna (vocals), and Gail Thibert (keyboards and backing vocals).

Their first major performance was in 1983 with Riot/Clone. They also released their first EP, "No Fighting, No War, No Trouble, No More" on Riot/Clone Records. Their second EP, "A Man's Duty, A Woman's Place" was released in 1984 on Mortarhate Records, as were the rest of their further releases. They played with several well-known anarcho-punk bands, including Flux of Pink Indians, Rudimentary Peni, DIRT, Chumbawamba, Icons of Filth, Subhumans, and Conflict.

They broke up in 1986, but reformed in 2003 with Andy, Beverley, Nuts and Steve. They have been touring, and are working on new material.

The subject of their songs often included feminism, anarchism, and several notable songs regarding animal rights, including Poem, Yet Still Comes The Rain and You Didn't Care, which were all included in the controversial This Is The Alf compilation, released by Mortarhate Records in 1998.
