No Pigs were a hardcore punk band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, active from 1984 to 1989.
No Pigs were featured on the "Beware Of The Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing" album with the tracks On And On, Fools and Law On Your Side and as No Pigz on the 1986 "Emma" compilation LP, which contained the track Down.
No Pigs has been around from 1984 till 1989. With the first line-up we released the Broken Promises ep and 3 songs on the Beware Of The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing lp. The second line-up recorded a 7 song demo (which was never released cos we were idiots), the song 'Down' on the Emma compilation and another demo of the songs 'Black Day' and 'Desolation. The third line-up recorderd the Black Day 12inch and In Her House lp for Destiny records in Berlin. The last line-up recorded nothing in a studio but I have some pretty good sounding live recordings. Throughout the years we have shared the stage with almost every hardcore punk band from Europe and the USA in a lot of weird places all over Europe. The highlights were the tours we did with Rich Kids on LSD and MDC. I could have given you some more detailled information but hey, who cares. It's been like, you know... Anyway, we had a blast!

The Selecter are a British ska band, formed in 1979 in Coventry.
The band's name comes from the original "The Selecter" track, which appeared on the flip side of The Special AKA's "Gangsters" single in 1979 and was written by Neol Davies and John Bradbury.
The original line-up remained together for a year and even with replacement players the band only continued until breaking up in 1982.
The Selecter reformed in 1991 with original members Neol Davies and Pauline Black along with Bad Manners members Martin Stewart, Nick Welsh and Perry Melius. Davies left the band in 1993, but lead vocalist Black continued to perform and release music under the Selecter name until 2006.
By 2011, another version of the band featuring Neol Davies was touring separately. In June 2011 Black applied for and won the Selecter trademark and the right to use the name herself. The reformed, Pauline Black-led line-up still tours and releases albums under The Selecter name, most recently releasing "Human Algebra" in 2023.
Band members:
Belinda Magnus aka Pauline Black - vocals
Arthur Hendrickson - vocals
Neol Davies - guitar
Compton Amanor - guitar
James Mackie - organ

Sacrilege are a British hardcorepunk/trash metal band, formed in 1984 in Birmingham.
The third album "Turn Back Trilobite", released in 1989 saw the band moving away from their hardcore punk/thrash metal roots into a more heavy doom metal musical direction with touches of folk.
Shortly after recording the album, the band quietly went their separate ways, disillusioned by the restrictions and expectations they felt were heaped upon the band. The band has since stated that they never officially split up, preferring to say that they took a 25-year rest. Sacrilege reformed in 2014.
Band members:
Lynda Simpson - vocals
Damien Thompson - guitar
Tony May - bass
Andy Baker - drums.

Mo-Dettes were a punk band, formed in London in 1979. The band signed to Decca Records subsidiary Deram and released one album, The Story So Far in November 1980. The album chiefly consisted of punk originals, as well as covers of the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black" and Édith Piaf's "Milord". The band had a minor hit with the 7" Paint It Black, just missing the top 40.
The band's final record was the 7" Tonight, released in June 1981 and a minor hit. Two months later, at the request of Decca Records, who wanted to hear a fuller sound, Mo-dettes asked guitarist Melissa Ritter to join. She played her first show as a Mo-dette just four days after joining the band.
