Spawned on the banks of the Medway, during the eighties when Medway had a unique garage and trash scene, The Pressure played the towns alongside a number of other similarly motivated bands (many of whom were very good), each reputed for their originality in an era that can only be described as the days of "Medwaybeat". This is some of the unheard contributions from the Pressure that were never retailed.
Why this name?
I think it was because there was a gig, and we had to think of something quick!!
Do you play live?
Used to regularly play in and around Medway in the 80's
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Music should be free to everyone.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not applicable.
Band History:
We were just a group of guys who got together to bang out something we liked. We played alot both home and abroad, and had a really good time doing it. We split around 85.
It was a great era for bands in the Medway Towns. I have lost touch with the other guys from the band but would really love to hear from them again. George was a great song writer.
Your influences?
Medwaybeat - All the bands in Medway kind of inspired each other.
Favorite spot?
Nags Head-It was the place!!
Equipment used:
Old Stuff. It was cheap and we were young.
Anything else...?
It's unfair to say that John Mace died from being bitten by a snake just because he left the band. It was a vicious rumour we started.
