Biography
Northampton, United Kingdom (1983 – 1987)
There have been several bands with the name Sedition.
Perhaps the first was an anarcho punk/hardcore/post-punk/ 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.
