The Expelled - A Punk Rock Collection


The Expelled were a British punk band from Rothwell, just outside Leeds, formed in 1981.
The band signed a record deal with Riot City Records. They went on to release a three track extended player and a single both in 1982 and then do a John Peel session on BBC Radio 1 in December 1982.

Ball left in 1983 and the band tried out several female vocalists, touring with one (Jewlie) and recording two songs with another (Penny), before deciding to carry on as a three piece with McEvoy taking over on vocals.
The new line-up recorded four tracks for an unreleased 12", "Waiting For Tomorrow", before Riot City Records ran into financial problems and the band split in 1984.

Joanne Ball - vocals
