UK Decay: "The Cult before the Cult"

Me, Myself, and I

Formed during the spring of 1979, UK Decay released several self released records

"For My Country"(Sept 80), gained airplay from John Peel (for whom they would record two sessions). It spent eight months in the indie chart reaching No. 13. First major UK tour was with US punks, the Dead Kennedys. In 1981 two further singles, "Unexpected Guest" and "Sexual", were released, the former achieving the band’s highest Indie chart at No. 4, paving the way for UK Decay’s debut album, ‘For Madmen Only’.

Following a US tour in 81, Eddie 'Dutch' Branch (AKA 'Twiggy' from Northampton joined on bass.
UK Decay were arguably a major influence on the emerging Postpunk and Goth movements that still resonate today. The band had a major role in developing these scenes, but had ceased to exist by the time these other bands started getting serious press coverage and sales.

Spliting at the end of 82-, UK Decay reformed June 2008 and have since played at major festivals such as WGT & Rebellion.
