LIBERTY, A POTTED HISTORY.
LIBERTY were formed in 1983 from Dartford Kent by three school friends, Mark Wallis (vocals), Graham Clench (bass) and Dereck Banks (drums). After several gigs and a couple of guitarists Mick Harrington joined in May 1984.
In September that year we went in to DTS studios of Chatham to do a demo tape. Loads of gigs followed. A couple at the Wolich Polytechnic brought us to the attention of Colin Conflict (Mortarhate) who asked us if we would like to contribute a track to a compilation album he was putting together, so we went back to DTS and recorded ‘Diluted Rebellion’ for the ‘We Don’t Want Your Fucking War’ LP.
The demo and LP track led to gigs all over the country and loads of positive feedback (cheers everyone) and Colin asked us to do an EP for Mortarhate. In came Steve Flack on vocals to give Mark a hand and in April ‘85 we trekked up to London to Alaska studios to record the ‘Our Voice is Tomorrows Hope’ EP.
A couple of bass players later (cheers Gonk & Paul) with new drummer Oggy and a new bassist Ray on board the LP ‘The People Who Care Are Angry’ followed again on Mortarhate. With a national tour alongside Conflict and Potential Threat nearly complete you would think things could only get better but - DOH! - just as an offer of a US tour and tracks on Pusheads ‘Cleanse The Bacteria 2’ LP were on offer, we split up!!!!
Liberty reformed in 2005. We thought and still do that there is a lot wrong in todays society. We all have ways to show our disgust for a system that works to keep Mr & Mrs Average as cannon fodder, to keep the Machine working, our way is to write and perform songs.
The line up at the recording of this CD was Mark W. (vocals), Mark S. (bass), Mick H. (guitar), Soote (guitar) and Del (drums) with additional vocals by J IT and Asha. Other members of Liberty not on these recordings were K and Steve. Mark W. has since left the band and our new singer is Luke of Social Parasites. This Cd was recorded at Stag studios in Witham during 2006/7.
Thanx to eveyone who has ever came to see us live, organised a gig, bought our records and took the time to listen to what we have to say. Special thanks to Ben Blasphemy for the artwork used in the CD.
