History & Biography The chaps from Macc (i.e. Macclesfield near Liverpool) were prolific from 1985 to 1995 when they split up and owned their own label, store and company hence issued as many LPs, cassettes, CDs and VHS tapes as the area’s production facility could handle. The band had two members called Stez Styx. First there was a founding member and then a second member was in the fold in 1990 and 1991. The band was refused entry into the USA prior to its disbandment. Manager/guitarist Al O'Peesha died in 2005 after guiding the band’s savvy business moves throughout the years.
The punk/hard rock band had one-upped Deep Purple since inception in 1979 by being, “rudest crudest lewdest, drunkest band in Christendom.” The group was heard three years after formation through the One Gallon Demo and four years after formation through a demo called Eh Up! The band routinely sported misogyny and homophobia and was being banned from venues while writing about local matters and persons. The band apparently has some 500 or so EPs and compilations to its name, which is almost as many as the number of gigs the act has played.
Predictably, the band reformed in 2018 following a stand-alone gig in 2017. The act appeared at Rebellion Festival in 2018. A free single called Mary, Queen Of Pox b/w Middle Finger was offered to close down 2019. More new songs were uploaded in 2020.
