Biography

Northampton, United Kingdom (1983 – 1987)

There have been several bands with the name Sedition.

Perhaps the first was an /// band based in Northampton, UK, active from 1983 through 1987. Cassette and mp3 bootlegs of demos and live performances exist, but their only release was on a cassette-only compilation put out by the British Cold Spring Records (this was the label’s, which is still going today as a key label in the ‘industrial’ scene, first release, and its cover is displayed on the label’s webpage). The cassette also featured Psychic TV, Bruise, Charlie Don’t Surf and Venus Flytrap among others. It is seemingly this band who is mentioned by former Smartpils drummer, and later Hawkwind drummer Richard Chadwick in the book ‘Saga of Hawkwind’ by Carol Clerk.

The band started off involved with the ‘anarcho punk’ scene, mainly due to their close friendship with Antisect and played shows with bands such as Antisect, Conflict, Smartpils, Dirt, No Defences, Annie Anxiety, Legion of Parasites, Karma Sutra, Deviated Instinct, The Alternative and others. From the start they were also very influenced by US and international underground and hardcore acts, and had numbers which were clear hardcore, influenced by the likes of MDC, Antisect and Crucifix, and maybe even early Metallica, and had always been big fans of the US underground, listening a lot to artists such as Black Flag and The Minutemen, and they played shows with bands such as Government Issue, Larm, and another British harcore act, Admit You’re Shit.

    If you're looking for the info on the nazi one, it's all the way at the bottom of the biog, pretty much where it belongs.

    The 'battle of the Seditions' is tiresome. I created this bio including all the Seditions I know of and putting them in chronological order, writing what I could find out about all of them. They all exist(ed) and all have a right to be here. I'm grateful to those who can add to the info about some of them (but you should know that writing with 'we' is bad form) and also for pictures of the other bands (but album covers are a no-no, as everywhere on last.fm) But voting down pictures of one of the bands, so that your preferred picture gets 'up there', reordering the bio to put your preferred band at the top, or deleting some of the other bands, etc., etc. is sad and very immature, and stuff like this has happened on this page, and still seems to be happening and we can expect it to continue.

    Porque é que a last.fm n faz nada para resolver a confusão entre as duas bandas ? Porque é que na lista de "parecidos" aparecem bandas racistas de white power ????? Last FM está uma porcaria desde que separaram o site em linguas diferentes, mas isto é demais !!!! Deita o lixo no LIXO, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRXtvwVuceE
