p.u.s. started as a band around 1988 we had different names and just pissed about really it wasn’t till me and Darren met up with some old school pals duds and sonny (combat shock/cst) that we started taking things a bit more serious as duds was a pretty dam good guitarist and sonny was a good drummer where as me and Darren couldn’t play a thing so it was a learning curve for us but hey that’s what punks about having a go and doing it for yourself so we did and we muddled by so the full line up then was-
Darren-vocals
Nik – bass
Sonny – drums
Duds – guitar
As we all kinda listened to the same kinda stuff –crass/conflict/subhumans/anti sect/amebix/the mob as well as stuff like rdf/aos3/hawkwind – scandanavian and jap h/c and stuff like doom/sore throat/extreme noise terror etc.. we decided to play a bit of everything and jumble it up and there was loads of shit that pissed us off like –animal abuse-war-the nuclear threat and racist shit and bigotory clichéd anarcho punk stuff I know but that the route we took –around 1990 we released a diy demo vivisectionist die! We recorded it on a 4 track a little while later we headed to the studio for the first time to record our first studio demo environmental homicide that went down pretty good a year later studio again to record our first ep the real scapeghost an 8 track ep we released on darrens own label bfp records had a bit of hassle with the cover due to us calling Darren by his nickname and the chappy who ran the pressing place was in a band of the nickname we gave Darren he was also in a famous old hippy band –so the nice bloke charged us £200 to change one word –nice old hippy geeza!! Anyways the records sold out pretty quick as well as playing loads of gigs there was loads of zine interviews and comp tapes and comp eps etc… and a short time later bob joined to play 2 nd guitar which made our sound a bit heavier we done a few more gigs and around 1994 things started to die off apathy set in longs spells of nothing happening so it just fizzled out until 1995 when a good mate gary was up for learning guitar so he practiced like mad then we met tom elliot who was a good drummer so we decided to get it back together the line up then was-
Nik-bass
Darren – vocals
Gary-guitar
Tom-drums
Things were going well our first gig with the new line up was at the purple haze club p/boro with doom and extinction of mankind we then recorded a diy demo called cannon fodder this geeza in japan heard it and wanted to release it as a ep so we went into the studio and rushed out 11 trax and mixed them in a day the result wernt brilliant but it was a rush job and gary had only been playing guitar for 6 months so it was still an achievement and after all that the ep never saw the light of day a relief really a little later nessa joinrd the band to share vocals with Darren –albert from know records heard some trax and contacted us about putting a reack or 2 on a compilation cd he was putting out “nothing to believe in†which we did then he wanted to release a ep so we rehearsed a load of new songs back in the studio and we recorded the life in fear ep the ep sold pretty good and after that we done a split ep on know records with an awesome u.s. band o.m.o.b.n.a that was called share the pain (check out know records website or myspace page) –then tony from bomb factory records/step 1 got in contact about doing a cd so we done some new stuff and got all our ep together and demos we also re recorded some oldies with the new line up and the 33 track album –death from the skies was released. In between this we were gigging all over and into organizing gigs in a big way too we done a big gig for breech the anti whaling organization with leadbelly/pus/iowaska/rdf an awesome gig then in 1999 we organized another gig with rdf and got chokehold down a great night apart from some glueheads who got hold of some paint and decided to re decorate the venue and start fights in the end it was like a mass war chairs and tables getting cracked on peoples heads etc… after that things fell apart really Darren the vocalist who I had been mates with since were 5 yrs old and grew up with decided he’d had enough and stabbed me and tom in the back threatened us with court action over musical gear –he always was very money orientated when we were the opposite anyway we had 7 days to hand over our gear or court action bearing in mind this was the band gear so we fucked it all up and dumped it I n his garden –and then gary left cos he didn’t want to be piggy in the middle and the real sad bit of this tale of woe is a short time later gary was gonna join the band again and was sadly taken from us in a car accident – (we still miss you man –skin up!!!) that knocked us for 6 loosing a real good mate.
After that we got some more gear sorted and this Russian geeza joined the band and a chappy called john but a few months later the Russian got deported and john tried to turn us into guns& roses which we wernt happy about but he went off to uni and finally good ol tom moved to brighton so we were big time fucked!
But we are trying to get it going again so if theres anybody out there who can play anything or even cant play but wants a go get in contact –we aint muso’s in any shape and form much better to get on and have a laugh and see how it goes –participation is the key!! Hopefully pus will live again!! If anybody wants any stuff just get in contact we have cd’s dvd’s etc..
