Bradford, United Kingdom (December 1980 – present)

Bradford, UK, post-punk group (Mark Tighe - guitar, Ian Tilleard - vocals, Mick Reed - Drums. Sputnik - Wasp. Other members were changing. Formed in December 1980 and set about recording heavy, melodic, intense dance music with no frills and pretentions. Recorded 4 singles. One album and performed a couple of sets for John Peel (in 83 and 84). Muic by Mick Reed/Tighe, Words Tilliard.

Originally called “Heaven 17” they changed their name due to the existence of the other poppier anti facists who were rising through the scene at the time.

1919 is so old school Killing Joke and I love it! Listen to Plague of Fools, another KJ sounding band!

....sounding doudgyly Joke'ish, but cant trust the notion of 'rip off' so much originality has sprung from Bradford in that early, New Model Army are a primary example of this...they would have got dug up of the scean long back. perhaps k.j and 1919 were just on the same perspective trip of the world, its from the gut...... cant help but say....its fucking good
