Decontrol Compliation DVD booklet - preview

Here's a sneak peek at the front and back of the booklet cover that will be part of the DVD I'm putting together. It'll be in a CD case not DVD case:

Decontrol Infamous In France

Now that I start to look around the Web a bit more, I spot another blog giving praise to the band - here is the translation provided by Google Translate:

Now the demo "Thunk!" a British group about which I have almost no information: Decontrol. If it can help you, the jacket tells us that the group consists of Smyf, Flossy, Nick, Paul & Chris (I'm not sure that is more advanced ...), the contacts mentioned two cities in North East of England (Tyne & Wear and County Durham). Finally, the list of thanks does not enlighten me more, almost only first names, and one group name that reminds me of something: Hellkrusher.


Here, for progeny, we can forget ... I wonder what led me to buy the K7? It should probably date from a time when I was interested in everything that was stamped Hardcore English, as I was excited about the spearheads of this scene (Doom, Heresy, Ripcord, Sore Throat, Excrement of War , Vorhees, and so on ...).


Musically, we are dealing with good Punk / Hardcore, pretty good hit. The demo includes seven titles, the last is a cover of Conflict, "Increase The Pressure". Perhaps this is a track to establish a possible affiliation ...

Partial Band Plays at The Royalty Sunderland

I can't for the life of me remember why Chris couldn't make the gig that night. I think he must have been ill...leaving me with double vocal duty...not that easy for the songs were built around the double-attack approach a la ENT.

So - we had 17 minutes of all-out mayhem. Here's two photos:



This was - as far as I'm aware - the third and last gig that was recorded on video. There was two gigs that we done that weren' t recorded...maybe: Irish Centre - second visit (not the August bash) and Images in South Shields with Genital Deformities. I know that the gig may have had audio recorded - Ricey & crew I'm sure done that but I never got a copy.

Can anyone help?
