About Me

I'll be telling you even more about Shockwork soon.
Shockwork were formed in 1992 having previously been called 'The Reluctant Heroes' by Chris G, Matt Vinyl and Russell & Chris Kedwell who surprisingly enough are indeed brothers.
The band (Mark 1) also recorded a track called 'Under Control' with Gary Numan at his Outland Studio in 1993. This track would have probably been included on the unreleased 1997 CD 'Looking For The Priest' which never saw the light of day due to the German label Subtronic allegedly going bankrupt... or so we thought.
The song 'Blood Rhythm' as featured on the music player was released in 1996 on a compilation called 'Zwischenfall 2' in Germany and sold lots of copies so we were told. It's all about vampires.
The band are currently sitting in a large shed in Wittering pondering on what biscuits to buy next.....any ideas ?
Watch this space for more info on the band. Rumours of gigs are so far unfounded. Two of us want to play live and one of us doesn't !

Feedback from the 'fans' !!

A long time ago back in the mid 1990's we were asked to support Mesh in their hometown of Bristol. The gig went quite well, with no doubt the usual amount of Shockwork chaos thrown in for good measure...
