————————————————
1. The UK punk/hardcore band, Chocolate, was formed in the summer of 1993 by Ed Wenn (guitar & vocals), Wolfie Retard (bass) & John Ruscoe (drums & vocals). Bored of playing “adult” music in their other bands, they had decided to spice things up a bit and re-visit their punk roots. After a few UK gigs the mini-album - Substitute For Sex - was recorded and released through UK label, Dirter Promotions in October 1993 and, with the addition Brian Running on vocals & stupid dances, the band toured Europe with The Dambuilders from Boston, USA. Upon returning to the UK, Brian left the band and was replaced by a new frontman, “Sizeable” Simon Finbow, from Ipswich-based Optimum Wound Profile).

A chance meeting in 1995 led to the band joining Russell Aldrich’s new UK hardcore label, Out Of Step Records, where they stayed for the rest of their career. The first release on Out Of Step was the thrashy Dead Skin 7” EP in May 1995 which was quickly followed in October of that year by the Blue Streak single (released on 7” and CDS). The release of the band’s first full-length album was held up for several months due to a sample-clearing dispute with Rage Against the Machine, so the band recorded the 12 track 7” single, Slow & Low, which was released on March 26th 1996. Five of the tracks from Slow & Low were also included on the Metallurgy compilation CD released by Volume Magazine.
