SORE THROAT (ENGLAND)
Sore Throat were formed in 1987 by John "Doom" Pickering (bass; previously a
member of Doom, Pelvic Thrust, Police Bastard and Cain), Brian "Bri" Talbot
(guitar; also previously associated with Doom and Pelvic Thrust, as well as
Ackworth St. Chaos Front, Metal Motherfuckers from Mars, Bugeyed, Warfear,
Woodhouse Rejects, Stalingrad, Blood Sucking Feaks, Devils and Virtual Reality),
Richard "Militia" Walker (vocals; of Wartorn and Warfear) and Nick Royles
(drums). They are known as one of the first bands to give rise to and play in
the style of "noisecore. The band were vehemently opposed to what they saw as
commercialism with the hardcore scene, and used ridicule to lyrically lambast
the likes of Napalm Death, The Sex Pistols, Suicidal Tendencies, DRI, OLD and
SOD. Other lyrics mocked Nazis, capitalism and the straight edge movement. The
band's first release was the Aural Butchery demo in 1987, and like other early
releases such as the 42 track Death to Capitalist Hardcore EP (1987) and the
Noise Annoys demo (1988) consisted largely of raw, sub-one minute blast of
grindcore noise. After signing to the Manic Ears label in 1988, Sore Throat
released their debut album, Unhindered by Talent, which continued the trend,
albeit with a number of more traditional, Discharge-style numbers.
