Gash

Biography (source: http://www.geocities.ws/moostuuk/gash.html) :

GASH formed in 1997 with the intention of playing melodic punk rock. The line up differed to the one that exists today. It wasn't until Matt Steed (vocals/bass), Si Terry (guitar), Jon Priestley (guitar/vocals) and Jamie Jones (drums) all got together in late '97 that GASH started to develop their own style.

By 1998 they had gigged locally around The Midlands and written their own material. They self funded their first CD release "CAFFEINE FUELLED" a ten-track album that they sold at gigs and local independent record shops. The band progressed from their early poppy style and recorded a four track EP entitled "WHERE'S ANDRZEJ" in 1999, which consisted of a faster heavier style that was more in the direction they wanted to go. After the release and good reception of these two CD's they started sharing stages with such bands as Pulley, Diesel Boy and Pansy Division as well as numerous gigs of their own around the country.

During 2000 they took a short break from gigging to write and record their first professionally produced record "VIRGIN ON THE RIDICULOUS" this offered 14 tracks that the band were much happier with. The CD received many good reviews achieving a higher profile for GASH who were then invited to share stages with bands such as, GOOD RIDDANCE, SNUFF, DEATH BY STEREO, GROOVIE GHOULIES, FOXY and ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN.

In 2001 GASH spent time gigging and writing new songs which they recorded at the end of the year to produce the album "A DAY OFF FOR THE CONSCIENCE". Unfortunately, after four years of the same line up Simon decided to leave the band and go onto new things which left GASH to enlist the services of James Gardiner (Gadge) as their new guitarist. Feb' 2002, and GASH are invited to sign to the GOLF record label who release "A DAY OFF FOR THE CONSCIENCE" cat# CDHOLE057 on MAY 20th. A double CD package it also includes as a bonus "VIRGIN ON THE RIDICULOUS".

Heffer

Biography (source: drownedinsound.com)
Heffer officially formed in the summer of 1996 in Essex, England.

Chris (vocals and guitar) and Jim (drums) had been left on their own after the singer and bass player from their old (cock) rock band split up. Phil was recruited by Chris and Jim to play bass because, well because they couldn't find anyone else. Chris and Phil were intent on becoming a (cock) rock band but Jim had other ideas. He convinced the other two members that he knew someone who could sing punk really well, and for some reason Chris and Phil believed him.

After borrowing some NoFX CDs off of Jim, Chris and Phil began to warm to the idea of punk themselves, and Chris began to write some punk tunes. This carried on for about six months without Jim's promised singer ever showing up. In an attempt to save the band, Chris stood in front of the microphone and began to sing, pretty badly at first, but he got a lot better. Heffer were known as 'Five Days Wiser' for about five days, after which, they became wiser and realized what a crap name that was, so instead they called themselves Heffer, and it kinda stuck.

In the summer of 1998 (after many gigs, practice sessions and living room recording attempts) Heffer finally went into the studio to record their seven track demo 'The Monsters of Cock'.

Following a year of occasional gigging, Heffer finally went back into the studio to record their next demo. However, lack of funds meant the studio had to be Chris's bedroom. Drums and bass were laid down in about three days. Then three months later Chris got off his arse and recorded the guitar and vocal parts. The new Heffer seven track demo was born, and was entitled 'demo'.
