The Pressure
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.
The Pressure are:
George Hargrave - Guitar and Vocals
John Kennedy - Bass and Vocals
John Mace - Keyboards and Vocals
Jez Yates - Drums
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
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. We are still in touch and are considering a 30th anniversary reunion gig!!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Used to regularly play in and around Medway in the 80's
