Steve Treatment

Steve Treatment was a pioneer of the DIY Punk scene in the late 1970s and his records sound as fresh today as they did back then. Unlike the punks of his day Steve’s influences weren’t The Stooges or The New York Dolls; he turned to his hero Marc Bolan for inspiration. In 1978, with the help of his friends The Swell Maps, he made one of the best singles ever, the 'Five A Sided 45'. He released two more 7” singles but by 1979 his recording career took a long break and it wasn’t until early this century that Steve started releasing new material again either as solo acoustic performer or with electric backing by Scottish band The NoMen. 

 
In the summer of 2015 an LP was released of Steve Treatment’s original records along with unreleased tracks from the late seventies. At the same time Topplers Records released a "Best of" compilation containing his recordings from 2003 - 2015. Sadly these two retrospective albums came out just at the end of Steve's life; he died in his London flat in August 2015 at the age of 57. [SOURCE: TOPPLERS]
