SLOW BURNING FUSE
RECORDS
Slow Burning Fuse Records was a DIY label. It released
only one record, an EP featuring 'Free The People', 'Isn't It' and 'Something To
Look Forward To', by the Devil's Hole Gang (SSSS-1; 5/79). Distributed By
Slow Burning Fuse Records. Devils Hole Gang were formed around 1975 from a bunch
of Ilford, Essex musicians. The first incarnation featured Chris Elliott
(guitar/vocs), Steve Riley (bass/vocs), Richard Ashman (guitar/vocs), John
Kennett (vocs) and Nik Sands (percussion). Richard Ashman left leaving the core
of Chris, Steve, John and Nik. Eventually John was kicked out and they continued
as a three piece. Nik left the band's drumming seat and concentrated on the
'backroom scene'…..roadie, sound engineer, general dogsbody….and Kev Stevenson
took over. It was Kev who played drums on the single here….unfortunately. A
fourth band member Kev Beaumont joined on lead guitar/b vocs but it wasn't to
last. After a few gigs with the last line-up we decided to call it a day around
1980. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
