Shoes For Industry

Shoes for Industry were a post punk band formed in Bristol in 1979. The band released a couple of 7" and participated in the 'E(gg)clectic 1' compilation. In 1980 released the LP 'Talk Like a Whelk'. A record for all the fans of Bristol's post punk scene. The LP recorded on the Ronnie Lane at the Crystal Theatre Warehouse, Bristol and released by Fried Egg records (Fry 1). They used to play a dodgy pub called The Old Castle Green and the singer wore an exploding brain wig. They were dead scary and you couldn't argue with them. Line up: Andy Leighton (co-founder of Fried Egg Records), John Schofield, Paul Bassett Davies, Steve Lonnen and Tim Norfolk (later in Startled Insects, The Flies and The Insects). [SOURCE: LAST.FM]
