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 "The Beastmaster Generals" the band dissolved. DISCOGRAPHY

SIDE PROJECTS
The Beastmaster Generals In Spring 1986 the remaining members of Play Dead, Rob Hickson, Steve Green, Mark "Wiff" Smith teamed up with Bob Brimson and Julian Silvester and briefly formed another group, the Beastmaster Generals. The group wrote a few songs and recorded a few demos, but nothing was officially released and the new group quickly dissolved to due lack of interest from the band members themselves. There is reported to be no material available on bootlegs. EXTERNAL LINKS |
