Formerly known as The Blood Group. Inspired by Genesis P. Orridge, Diana Rigg and Brian Blessed, The Blood Group came into being in the wilds of Hackney in the early months of 2002, with the express intention of playing filthy, high-octane rock n' roll. Several dates with destiny including support slots with The Beatings and Ikara Colt, and various comparisons to The Saints, The Birthday Party and The Heartbreakers later, their mission remains the same: to rock out and invoke glorious chaos (George).
