History

edit

In July 1997, GBH members Colin "Jock" Blyth (guitar) and Ross Lomas (bass/guitar) and English Dogs members Pete "Wakey" Wakefield (vocals) and Andrew "Pinch" Pinching (drums) recorded and mixed the album Wreckin Temples in nine days at Jigsaw Studio in Frognall. All music that appeared on the album was originally written in 1980 and 1981 by GBH and English Dogs but was never recorded.[1]

In 1998, they released the EP Barking Spider and in 2004 Wreckin Temples was supposed to be released in the United States on Beer City Records[2] but it came to nothing.
