Lunch Head...Punk legends (that's legend with a very small 'L') for the best part of thirty seconds in the early 1990s but there was, and continues to be, a very small group of well informed people that swear this lot could have been so much more if they'd really put their minds to it - which spookily reads like many of my school reports. This Worcester (UK) based band spent the majority of 1990 gigging around the UK's smaller, but infinitely more interesting venues. It was whilst playing a barnstormer at one such venue, the infamous 'TJs' in Newport, Gwent (you know the place, where Kurt proposed to Courtney), that they came to the attention of the Words of Warning label - voted most anti-establishment record label of the year three years on the trot in the early 90s (my tongue is only half way in my cheek when saying this). Lunch Head featured on the label's compilation 'Mind Polution 2' alongside other noteworthy punkers of the time such as Therapy?, Oi Polloi and Terminus. However, the Lunch Head track 'Through the wire' (which is the song you heard when you first visited this page) was picked out as being one of the album's standout tracks by a number of fanzines and music publications, including influential cult Californian zine 'MaximumRockNRoll'. This interest led to air play on the John Peel show on BBC Radio One - but still no royalty cheque. The band had offers to undertake a European tour, on the back of the interest that had been raised, but instead ended up splitting before this came to fruition...and so it goes!!Anyway, this page acts merely as a momento to the Lunch Head sound...we're not selling anything, trying to score gigs or expecting/wanting to achieve international fame and fortune. To reiterate in simple terms, Lunch Head is no more. There was only one studio recording session, the DB Sounds session which was recorded entirely live (ie no over-dubs, with vocals and instruments recorded in just one live take) - the four songs above are drawn from this day in the studio. If you've made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read...
