Solid Waste

 

Well, Punk Rock has hit 40 years and it is now in the news, on television, shows and even art galleries through-out the country and has become almost main stream - but I bet this band won't even get a mention. Like 100s of other small bands around the country, they were just as important as the bigger bands and made up a large part of the jigsaw. Sadly a lot of these bands fell away by the roadside but still left a mark in history! Little as it may have been they were there doing their part. 

Solid Waste hailed from Chelmsford in Essex were just like any other bunch of bored kids in the mid 70s with all the strikes, poverty and the dire heavy Rock that was clogging up the charts. So when the Sex Pistols and the like were making ripples they saw it their chance to rebel and be part of something! Like most of these smaller bands, 1977 was intense for a couple of years and then it was all over! Like they say, the star burnt bright for a short time and then it went out! If we had to describe this band, we would say a cross between The Killjoys and Menace. They even gigged with the Killjoys down at the Music Machine and they even recorded at the same studio as them.

On this release you get 26 studio tracks that were all recorded in 1977 at the famous Spaceward Studio in Cambridge.
