Anarcho punk band fromBelfast ,Northern Ireland .History
The band formed in 1982 after inspiration from the
Crass gig at the Anarchy Centre in Belfast. Featuring Phil on bass, Patsy on vocals, Grub on drums and Marty on guitar they wanted to take theDIY and anti-establishment ethos of punk one step further. Originally from theNewtownards area, they played their first gig at the West Winds Roadhouse in the same year, and regularly played around Bangor, Belfast and the Ards area for the next two years, occupying the same scene as the band Stalag 17. In1984 they moved to Belfast and were joined by second vocalist Roy Wallace. They gigged with Conflict in the Manhattan Club which resulted in them doing a number of recordings for Conflict's label Mortarhate.They toured Europe twice before they eventually split in 1986. Roy Wallace released "Belfast" in 1987, performing with Deno and Gary from
DIRT to re-record old Toxic Waste tracks (as well as previously unreleased tracks). Marty and Roy used their experience from their time in Toxic Waste to form the notoriousBleeding Rectum . The band was revived briefly in 1991 for a benefit tour, with Deno from DIRT on female vocals.Discography
