Scrash - History

History

They were active between 1991 & 1994, and performed music that was a fusion of indie, techno, metal and industrial.

Scrash toured the UK extensively during that period playing many concerts alongside other well regarded luminaries of the then indie music scene such as Pop Will Eat Itself, Meat Beat Manifesto, Senser, Back To The Planet, Babylon Zoo, Giggolo Aunts, Scorpio Rising, Sidi Bou Said, Collapsed Lung, FMB, Fretblanket, Machine Gun Feedback and many others.

As well as being support on tour with Pop Will Eat Itself during January 1993, Scrash had also been the opening act during Pop Will Eat Itself's record breaking five night residency at the Marquee Club, London in April the previous year.

Scrash were described in the national and music press at that time as "... (they) effortlessly blend sonic walls of noise and samples of phlegm into finely crafted pop songs ... (they are) as glamorous as a donkey on Skegness Beach, but marginally less attractive", "One of the best live bands around this year", "New recruits to the Stourbridge Mafia", in reference to the then endless stream of top indie bands emanating from the small West Midlands town (such as Pop Will Eat Itself, The Wonderstuff, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Fretblanket), "The new Stourbridge Wunderkind"

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.
    Henry James (1843–1916)

    The custard is setting; meanwhile
    I not only have my own history to worry about
    But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
    Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
    Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
