Sedition (UK band)

:"This is about the UK hardcore band, Sedition. For other uses see Sedition (disambiguation)"Sedition was an anarcho punk/hardcore/postpunk band based in Northampton, England, active from 1983 through 1987. Cassette and mp3 bootlegs of demos and live performances exist, but their only release was on a cassette-only compilation put out by the British Cold Spring Records (this was the label's, which is still going today as a key label in the industrial scene, first release, and its cover is displayed on the label's webpage). The cassette also featured, amongst others, Psychic TV, Bruise, Charlie Don't Surf, and Venus Flytrap.

The band started off very influenced and involved with the anarcho punk scene, and played shows with Antisect, Conflict, Smart Pils, Dirt, No Defences, Annie Anxiety, Karma Sutra, Deviated Instinct and others. From the start they were also very influenced by US and international underground and hardcore acts, and they managed to play shows with Government Issue, Lärm, and another British hardcore act, AYS. Later this interest led to a sound that was slower, stranger and generally instrumental, perhaps with hues of Flipper, Butthole Surfers and slower metal acts such as the Dutch band Gore. It is this sound, with a 3-piece lineup, that can be heard on the demo '60 miles by road or rail'. Dig of Earache Records intended to release 2 of these tracks on a compilation LP, but the project was later shelved. A track from this demo, 'Pink Hendrix Hairdryer' was featured on the Cold Spring Records compilation.

There were only 3 constant and core members of the band (Greg Bull, Alan Smith and Mark Davess; on guitar, bass and drums respectively), who started and finished the band, ending up as an instrumental act. There were 4 vocalists who came and went through their period of activity. These were: Tim Radford, Simon Trkula, Lorna Simpson and, finally, Tim Andrews, who was recruited by Antisect, and stayed with them until their demise.

Sedition's drummer was later in Charlie Don't Surf, an acoustic band called Buggy Chillum and, in Moscow, Russia, a punk band called Species
