Twisted Nervez - The Return of Faith, Hope & Charity (1982)

Twisted Nervez were formed back in 1978 by Mark Nunnen (vocals) Paul Allen (bass, later Ministry of Love mk II), Dave Stinson (guitar, later Change to the East) and Pete Fitzmaurice (drums, later Phantasee). This line-up gigged regularly in the North with a powerful, energetic and Joy Division + Killing Joke + Damned -flavoured live set which included numbers like Always Alone, Will You See Tomorrow, I Want You, Youth and Test Tube Babies. Over the years the band’s music style changed from neckbreaking fast to more articulated and pop-rock oriented, developing a different identity far from the die-hard punk that was distinctive of the band in their early days. In October 1982 Twisted Nervez released their first EP:

The Return of Faith, Hope & Charity (1982)
a. Youth
b1. Opportunity Knocks
b2. Always Alone

At about the same time of this release Fitzmaurice left and was replaced by Steve Degrunck (formerly with Stun the Guard). Despite this change in the line-up Twisted Nervez disbanded in 1983.
