Indecent Assault originally formed in 1982, but it took several months and line-up changes to get to the core line-up that gigged constantly during the following years. After a few demo tapes, the first ep "Dawn of the Android Workers" was released in 1986. The following year saw the release of the "United We Stand...But So Do They!"ep, split with Anorexia from nearby Birmingham.
For a detailed history and overview of the band, we would strongly recommend checking out the book "The Day The Country Died" by Ian Glasper (Cherry Red Books) As well being superbly researched and written on all levels, there are some cracking bands from the underground that get some welcome recognition.
Following a reformation of sorts and sporadic rehearsals in 2004, we have got back in gear and committed to this with weekly rehearsal and new songwriting. The new EP "STILL BURNING" was recorded 20th May 2005 but did not get completed until Nov - unbelievably, this got an 'unofficial' mail order only release 12 months later.
A new track appeared on Angry Scenes Records Comp 2, thanks go out to Paul Gorman for all his support. Due to all his efforts, ASR 3 is now completed and features an exclusive IA track "Don't Let The B astards Grind You Down" recorded earlier this year. The new CD can be got from us, Paul directly or any of the 27 other bands on there.
Prior to this, we had started work on the new album, recording four tracks in May 2007. However, these were snapped up by Meltdown Records (cheers Chris!) and released in Dec '08 as the "Three Way Split" featuring Assert (and Rotunda). This will be available from here shortly
We will continue to gig as much as possible (having started again in August 2007). Last year we have played with the UK Subs (the first time in 20 years) and more recently Disorder! If anyone has a slot get in touch!!
We start work on the long overdue debut album in the coming weeks and we'll post blogs on that as it progresses
