IMPACT

About Me

IMPACT is the name of the band formerly called Destination Venus. The band started in 1994 in Stoke-on-Trent, rising from the ashes of local punk bands AWOL & KALUS. Rick on drums, Roblad on guitar, Stu on bass & Crabby singing. Destination Venus entertained the masses with their tuneful punk for a decade, releasing 2 albums along the way. A while after the demise of the band Rick, Rob & Stu started putting a harder sounding band together. After trying various people in the band, and Stu leaving Crabby was once again recruited, this time on bass. IMPACT was born, and with Lee joining to fill out the sound the boys once more hit the streets. We hope to see you at a gig soon. MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator
