Dem Old Tapes - Part 11 - Treason/Ashes to Ashes




These guys from London started out as Treason with a brief change to Ashes to Ashes for a while before changing it back. They started life in 1988 as a Thrash band and I 1st heard them on the classic "A Taste of Armageddon" compilation album.

Their write up on Metal Archives is a bit confusing and doesn't match to my memory but that's no surprise as I am not the memory master!! According to my memory I bought this ep..
...quite a while before this demo with the changed name came out. 
Metal Archives doesn't agree though so I won't argue. What is strange though is that for the EP "Path of No Return" it shows a 2 song tape not a 4 song vinyl release which is what I have and other than the title track being the same on this record the rest are different!!

Anyway both the releases I have report the same line up - 

Julian McBride - Bass
John Seaton - Vocals, Guitars
Martin Bourne - Guitars
Jon Hutter - Guitars
Rob Lewis - Drums

I have put the Ashes to Ashes demo up onto an archive site for people to give it a listen. I hope that the band will be OK with that. If you see this and you are not happy to have your old music heard in this way please get in touch and I will take it down.


They brought out 3 albums after these releases in a more Progressive Rock/Metal style.

I will be playing a track off of the demo on my next podcast so tune in for that and check out my latest show HERE too whilst you wait.

Monsters of Rock - 1988 - 30 years ago


Today 30 years ago was my 1st Heavy Metal gig. I just thought I'd post up my memories of it and do a video. I will post up photos etc if I get around to it :P

I mention a disparraging article, a newspaper opinion piece that some hack wrote and the Bailey Brothers read out at the festival. I tried to get hold of it to post here but had no joy. If anyone has a link or a picture of it please send it my way so I can add it to this blog.









There is an article HERE about the gig and the tragedy that happened. The 2 lads who died were around my age at the time, so when I think of all the stuff I've done over the last 30 years, stuff these lads would have probably done similar and never got the chance to, it does make you think.

You can buy this on Amazon and recreate the gig by getting someone to

High Speed Hangover Patreon Exclusive - The Twilight Zone themed special - Part 4

This show was exclusive for my Patreon patrons but I've put it on general release now. If you enjoy it please consider becoming a patron TODAY 😊



Julie Newmar as Miss Devlin in Of Late I think of Cliffordville
(Born 16.8.1933 Happy Birthday)

Here is show 4 of my Twilight Zone Quintet folks, playing tunes influenced by the 4th season of the show which originally aired way back in 1963. It's funny when a really old show talks about the future and quotes years that are now in our past!! We've got no space ships or time machines yet but as you'll know from listening that's probably a good thing. Are there aliens out there? And if so will they visit us to teach us or to eat us? Maybe it's best if we never find out, never have to get a visit from or walk, skip or dance the fandango through the Twilight Zone!

Enjoy the show folks :P
