Mayhem - 1982-83

Southport punk band, formed late 1979, feat; Mick McGee (voc), Johnny (gtr), Deadcat (bass), Mick ‘Collo’ Collinson (drms) (ex Dumb Blondes). Chris Hand (aka Chris Hind) and Guz Sumner (both also Blitzkrieg) also provided help on guitar and bass. Between the year 1982 and 1983 the band recorded two Eps:

Gentle Murder (August 1982)
A1 Dogsbody
A2 Street Fight
B1 Blood Money
B2 Patriots

Pulling Puppet Strings (November 1983)
A Gentle Murder
B1 (Your Face Fits) Lie & Die
B2 Clean Cut

In 1985 Mayhem tried to evolve from the small-time local punk rock band they had been and attempted to reinvent their raucous Motörhead-inspired sound with a three-song EP entitled Bloodrush. Despite a limited number of devoted followers, public recognition and success never came and Mayhem split up.
