More DIY punk in eighties Britain

Ian Glasper had a great response when he posted about bands that he is trying to contact for his next book a few weeks back, so here we go again...

The book will be ‘A Country Fit For Heroes: Volume Two. More DIY punk in eighties Britain’ and will hopefully be out in the spring of 2027.

This will be Ian Glasper’s last volume documenting the Eighties, so he really wants to capture some of these bands for posterity.

With that in mind, does anyone know the whereabouts of any ex-members of the following punk bands, please?

Anarchist Angels (Middlesex)

Cold Vietnam (Redditch)

Corrupt Abuse (???)

The Dead (Whitehaven)

Distemper (Greenock)

The Distorted (Wokingham)

Earth's Epitaph (Cwmbran)

Exalt (Dundee)

Family of Noise (Belfast)

This cover design for the upcoming book is by Welly Artcore, author of Nefarious Artists and Directions to the outskirts of town, and if anyone knows who took this picture of Presteigne punks heading off to a SLF gig, please get them in touch too!
