Play Dead was a British Rock group that grew out of the fading British Punk scene in 1980. Though the band was identified with groups like UK Decay and Sex Gang Children , the band felt they didn't belong under the " Gothic " title. The band made three Studio Album s for four different small Label s— Fresh Records , Jungle Records , Situation 2 , and Clay Records —before forming their own label, " Tanz ", for their final album, ''Company Of Justice'', which appeared in 1985.

The original lineup of Play Dead was Rob Hickson (vocals), Pete Waddleton ( Bass ), Mark "Wiff" Smith ( Drums ), and Re Vox ( Guitar ). In July 1981, Re Vox was replaced by Steve Green (play Dead) . In 1984, Rob and Pete created the project " Mankind's Audio Development " nicknamed M.A.D. Only one Single was recorded with the two songs "Craving" and "Sunfeast." Waddleton left the group in 1986 and after a brief period as Beastmaster Generals the band dissolved.
