Dead Wretched : Convicted/Infiltrator
More of the criminally ignored of 82. Dead Wretched. Hailing from the Midlands and signed to Inferno Records along with The Varukers & Drongoes For Europe. Released two great 7 inches ('No Hope For the Wretched' being the other, previously posted on this site) before drifting into obscurity. Bizzarely appeared on a children's TV programme doing the unreleased "Your No Exception" which I still have on VHS. Went on to become The Burning with little success.

The best Birmingham punk band of the 80's who was rumoured around the current Birmingham punk scene to be reforming? But as yet no sign?

Yeah! Saw Conflict in Bristol few months back. They're playing Tenby the night before! Anarchy by the sea. Lovely. Discharge in December as well. Though it's rat out the varukers singing not cal. Should still be good though. Some of the live stuff iv'e seen with him on you-tube aint bad.
Anonymous yeah best of Brum's bands easy. a CD reissue of their stuff at least would be nice.
Great post. I have two of their singles. I didn't know they did anything else.
i've got both singles some live stuff and a practice tape. also this video for the track 'Your No Exception' which I videoed off kid's telly circa 82. Cracking track obviously studio recorded. there must be a quality demo with this on out there somewhere. anyone?
Cheers Pogel
great post, i knew this lot years ago, i think Bill wanted the name Idol as his surname he spent far too long doing his hair
Ha!Yes Mother. A lot of us are guilty of that crime! I spent a lot of the 80's playing with hairspray, soap, buzzers and crimpers. The shared house I lived in was like a Nicky Clarke salon on the weekend. In the words of Joe Strummer 'at least it livens up the air' thanks for comments
