AMAZORBLADES

Formed: Brighton, East Sussex, England, UK

Amazorblades hailed from Brighton, England, and split up after this one single, with band members Chopper and Ben Mandelson (aka Hijaz Mustapha) going onto form 3 Mustaphas 3. Like a lot of the acts on Chiswick they were never a "true" punk band, they just happened to be around at the time and got dragged into the whole pogoing mess. (The picture above has been borrowed from the Worthless Trash blogsite - see links.)

Roy Keyloch - vocals, guitar
Ray "Chopper" Cooper - bass
Ben Mandelson (aka Hijaz Mustapha) - violin
Steve Harris - drums
Robin Watson - sax
