Death Sentence - Death and Pure Destruction EP [1982]

[@cromerdogg]

Let me put the record straight and clear up any confusion. Death sentence came from Northampton, I was the drummer (steve) my brother played lead guitar (mick), on bass (glen) and lead mouth (Dave). We were signed by lightbeat records.. We cut 1 E.P.. Death and pure distraction ... And featured on a compilation call Total anarchy... There have been a number of bands with the same name that followed after us, but we were the originals... Watch this space, we are re releasing ... I was shocked to find our material still lived on and had a substantial following .. 30+ yrs on and we can still be heard.. Dave our lead mouth passed away last year, so we are gonna dedicate our re releases to his family... Cheers steve - death sentence

one of best eps iv heard :) thats where i discovered the band from the total anarchy cd which is also great. so your making more music? please reply there is only one death sentence

[@cromerdogg]

Hey, thanks for the appreciation.. the plan is to re master all of our stuff, from early demo tapes... Not much is known about us so we will fill in the gaps with band history and pics. Only one regret!! We did not shoot any video footage of our gigs..

[@cromerdogg]

Cheers .. Dave our singer lived life to the full, probably overflowing most of the time.. he had a good innings ...

[@cromerdogg]

We are in a holding pattern regarding re releasing more tracks .. we got proper ripped off by Barry lights.. but will keep you posted ..

[@DOUGDONUT]

@@DaveAnchovies Pete passed away in 94. I remixed N.A.P.S. and ''Stop killing me'' and put it out on CD in 2009. It's all up on Itunes. Writing a new album actually with Syd.

[@cromerdogg]

Hi Doug, I missed your message. I know our bands shared the same name, which created some positive confusion if you ask me.. Appreciate the compliments, coming from you that means a lot.. Ours lives are very different now which makes it even more important that you are still flying the flag.. Good’on ya !! ☠️

Pukka , bring back memories listening to this EP 82/83 I first heard this band on the Total Anarchy Album , did u do gigs with , One way System steve donegal Blackpool area ?

[@cromerdogg]

We never did any gigs with the bands.. funny we were too young and the time!! We we still in high school in the UK ..

[@tpxchallenger]

Is this the Australian band Death Sentence from the 80's? I was in a band of the same name at the same time and we received all their stickers one day in the mail. Apparently the singer had died and they didn't need them anymore. Sad but true.

[@HelicopterHoneymoon]

no, that's another death sentence! the australian band had an EP called RYAN, Thanks for the SUPPORT

[@cromerdogg]

Looks like several bands called Death Sentence around the same time.. Death and Pure Destruction was my band in the UK .. We also lost our lead vocal - Dave Currie a long time ago, however the rest of us are still alive and kicking ..
