Biography

Last Rough Cause originally formed in the summer of 1983 with Andy Wears on vocals and bass, Max Turnbull on drums and Ste Smith on guitar. After a couple of shows and many months of practice it was decided to add a singer to the band so the band recruited Des Robson. His appointment was short lived but he did record 2 songs with the band “get them back and some mate” which both feature on the album skins and punks volume 1. The band then continued with Andy resuming his original role on vocals due to gig commitments and he continued to front the band in its many guises over the years that followed.

The band went into the studio during October and November 84 to record 4 new songs which would eventually make up the violent few ep. The band were scheduled to release a mini album which would feature the songs recorded with Des and the violent few recordings but the deal fell through due to a fall out with the people involved. This prompted the band to release the single on the bands own LRC label which was released in March 85 .
The band promoted the release of the single by securing support slots with Major Accident and Red London, both bands of which they are still in contact with. They also played with Broken Bones which was their first show in London at the 100 club and their final show with the original line was with 999 in Leeds.
The band did 2 more recording sessions following the violent few release recording 4 more songs in total, 2 of the songs went onto appear on skins and punks whilst the other 2 were scrapped.

    Due to unforeseen circumstances The Upstarts have had to pull out of the all dayer at the Forum Darlington on May 6th but replacing them are THE BUSINESS, sorry to anyone who was looking forward to seeing The Upstarts, but as you can understand these things can happen and I'm sure you will agree that The Business will also be a fantastic headline band on what I hope will be a fantastic day!! =)
