Ultra Violent - Crime For Revenge 7"
Riot City 1983 RIOT 25 Vg+/Vg+ bit of wear to front of sleeve but not to bad

Side A: Crime For Revenge / Side B: Where Angels Dare Not Tread / Dead Generation

 

"Also formed in January '82, in Hebden Bridge just outside Halifax, and also releasing just
the one single for Riot City, were Ultra Violent. Guitarist Andrew 'Grif' Griffiths and
vocalist Adrian 'Adie' Bailey had previously been in Delinquent, whilst bassist Duf and
drummer Jas were with Dreaded Cult. The first Ultra Violent demo was a very basic affair
recorded in Halifax during April '82.
It failed to generate any interest from labels. However the band played many shows around
West Yorkshire that summer and developed into a frighteningly powerful and focused act,
an impressive evolution that was showcased to perfection with the storming recording
Ultra Violent made at Rochdale's Cargo Studios during November 1982.
Four songs were commited to tape.
The first three of which appeared on the 1983 Riot City EP 'Crime For Revenge'.
Even on a label renowned for its fast and furious roster, it remains one of the
most intense, scatching releases, a true powerhouse of a single.

Disbanded before their planned 2nd single. Adie went on to front 'English Dogs'
and debuted on their 'To The Ends Of The Earth' LP in 1984"
