Eater

Eater emerged as one of the pioneering bands during the initial surge of British punk rock in the mid-1970s. Established in 1976, the group was notable for their youthful energy – with its members being teenagers at the time – influencing the proto-punk and burgeoning music scenes with a raw and raucous flair that typified the genre's early days. The band consisted of Andy Blade on vocals, Brian Chevette on guitar, Social Demise (also known as Ian Woodcock) on bass, and Dee Generate (also known as Roger Bullen) on drums. Eater stood apart for their blistering pace and snarling lyrical content, quickly earning a reputation for their ferocious live performances.

Though their time in the spotlight was relatively short-lived, Eater's impact on punk music has been lasting, as demonstrated by their body of work, which includes singles like "Thinking of the USA," "Outside View," and their notably controversial song, "Lock It Up." Their discography represents the raw ethos of punk during its formative years, captured most notably in their album "The Album" and a collection of live recordings, such as "Live At Barbarellas 1977". Posthumously, Eater’s work has been revisited and celebrated with retrospective compilations such as "The Eater Chronicles" and "The Complete Eater", providing a comprehensive look at the band's punchy and defiant contribution to the punk movement. Despite the decades that have passed since their formation, Eater continues to be celebrated within punk circles as an authentic fixture of the genre's explosive and irreverent beginnings.
