Sore Throat were a British crust punk band formed in Huddersfield , England, in 1987. [2] They are known for being one of the earliest exponents of the grindcore subgenre known as "noisecore", as well as for launching the careers of several prominent members of the British heavy metal community.

Sore Throat were formed in 1987 by Richard "Militia" Walker (vocals; of Wartorn and Warfear) and Nick Royles (drums). After a short-lived false start that involved Mick Harris & Jim Whitley from Napalm Death on vocals and bass respectively, with Rich actually playing guitar, they soon recruited John "Doom" Pickering (bass; previously a member of Doom , Pelvic Thrust, Police Bastard, and Cain), Brian "Bri" Talbot (guitar; also previously associated with Doom and Pelvic Thrust, as well as Ackworth St. Chaos Front, Metal Motherfuckers from Mars, Bugeyed, Warfear, Woodhouse Rejects, Stalingrad, Blood Sucking Feaks, Devils, and Virtual Reality). The band were vehemently opposed to what they saw as commercialism with the hardcore scene, and used ridicule to lyrically lambast the likes of Napalm Death, Sex Pistols , Suicidal Tendencies , D.R.I. , OLD , Wehrmacht, and S.O.D. Other lyrics mocked Nazis , capitalism , and the straight edge movement. The band developed a style completely based on improvisation: all of their musical output was made up on the spot, without rehearsals, during recording sessions.

The band's first release was the Aural Butchery demo, recorded on 20 August 1987, and like other early releases such as the 42 track Death to Capitalist Hardcore EP (1988) and the Noise Annoys demo (1988) consisted largely of raw, sub-one minute blast of grindcore noise; Death to Capitalist Hardcore was later ranked number 14 in Terrorizer Magazine ' s list of essential European grindcore albums. [3] A line-up change resulted in Paul "Hammy" Halmshaw taking over on drums and after signing to the Meantime label in 1988, Sore Throat released their debut album, Unhindered by Talent , which continued the trend, albeit with a number of more traditional, Discharge -style numbers. Their second album, Disgrace to the Corpse of Sid on Earache , showed even more diversity, incorporating distortion, blast beats , screams and grunts, and sound samples. It featured 101 tracks in total. However, whilst the A side of the album consisted of the band's patented noisecore , the B side contained more doom -inspired crust punk, along the lines of Amebix . The band also released the Inde$troy album in 1989 under the moniker Saw Throat, through Manic Ears Records.

Sore Throat released their final full-length album, Never Mind the Napalm... Here's Sore Throat , in 1989, returning to their crust punk roots. A number of other releases followed, including the Soar Throat EP, the And We Don't Care compilation and the Poison Idea / No Handle Beer demo (featuring two Poison Idea covers and one original track), but Sore Throat disbanded in 1990 due to the band coming to "its logical conclusion."

Vocalist Rich Walker was already involved with Sludgelord and went on to play in the doom metal band Solstice and epic heavy metal group Isen Torr, as well as some hardcore bands like Wartorn, Warfear, Discontrol, Nailbomb and Harmony As One, all of whom released records in the early 1990s. He currently runs his own label The Miskatonic Foundation and plays guitar in Solstice. Guitarist Brian Talbot went on to play with doom metal group Khang (latterly Lazarus Blackstar). Bassist John Pickering became a DJ at Radio Kerrang! Original drummer Nick Royles went on to play in several straight edge bands namely Withstand, In Touch, No Way Out, Steadfast, Ironside, Unborn, Season of War and Unquiet Grave. He ran Sure Hand Records and the influential How We Rock Fanzine in the 90s. He also became a DJ with his own club night playing Gypsy Punk and Balkan turbo folk. Currently playing in Howl and Cracked Cop Skulls. Paul Halmshaw founded Peaceville Records .

In 1991, the band briefly reformed with Royles returning on drums. They played a single performance at the 1 in 12 Club , and planned to release an EP, however broke up for a second time before it could be negotiated. [1]

On 4 February 2022, the band announced on their official Facebook page that they "were bored last Monday afternoon so we recorded 25 new songs of which 22 will be released as a 22 song 12" vinyl EP". The title was revealed to be Starving Wolves Stand & Fight! with the release date being 6 May on Bandcamp.

Aside from their official discography, Sore Throat have been heavily bootlegged. Rich Walker commented that bootlegging of T-shirts has been especially prevalent. [4] All Sore Throat albums have also been bootlegged on both CD and vinyl; some examples include:

Sore Throat were an English new wave / punk band from Highgate in London , England, formed in 1975. They released seven singles between 1978 and 1981, and one album in 1979, Sooner Than You Think , on the Hurricane label . The band consisted of Justin Ward (vocals & harmonica), Matthew Flowers (keyboards), Daniel Flowers (bass), Reid Savage (guitars), Greg Mason (sax) and Mark Burton then Robin Knapp then Clive Kirby (drums). Justin Ward left the band in January 1980 with Matt & Dan Flowers taking up joint responsibility for vocals. In September 1980 Clive Kirby left the band and Conrad Warre (guitar, vocals) & Nick Pepper (drums), both formerly of One Hand Clapping , joined until the band's final gig in October 1981. The band made over 475 live appearances.

In the early 1970s Matt & Dan Flowers formed a band with Ollie Marland called The Moggers. The band developed over the next few years under different names ranging from The Blades, The New Moggers, The New Blades adding Greg Mason, saxophone & Reid Savage guitar (for a short period) along the way before settling on Jam and bringing in Aidan Heed on guitar & vocals and Mark “Dick” Burton on drums. The first full line-up of “Jam” Flowers, Flowers, Heed, Burton & Mason played their first and only gig at St Anthony's School in Hampstead, North London on 15 October 1974. Heed left and singer, harmonica player and songwriter Justin Ward joined.

When punk band The Jam entered the music scene in 1975 the band changed their name briefly to Juice (playing at the Nag's Head in High Wycombe – July 1975) before settling on Sore Throat. Now sometimes referred to as the Original Sore Throat due to another band (playing crust punk/grindcore) taking the name up in the late 1980s.

In the summer of 1975 Reid Savage re-joined the band. The band played regular concerts from early 1976 and in August 1976 started a 15-month weekly residency at the Pindar of Wakefield (now known as The Water Rats) in Kings Cross, North London. The residency acted as a springboard to gigs throughout the United Kingdom. A major breakthrough was an 18 venue tour supporting Deaf School from early 1978. As a headline act many bands who went on to great success did their early gigs supporting Sore Throat including Madness , Adam & The Ants , Bad Manners , The Members and many others. The band allowed The Slits on stage to do their first performance at the Pindar of Wakefield in May 1977. Tours followed in Ireland , Holland , Austria and Switzerland . In the spirit of the times all earnings were shared equally and the band were mostly self-managed by Matthew Flowers. This led to Justin Ward leaving the band following an appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test in January 1980. The band continued with Matt & Dan sharing singing duties for the next eight months with one of their best singles Diggin’ a Dream released in April 1980. In August 1980 drummer Clive Kirby left the band and shortly afterwards new singer/songwriter and guitarist Conrad Warre together with his drummer Nick Pepper (both ex One-Hand Clapping) joined the band. The music evolved into a sophisticated reggae/rock/jazz sound, but sadly didn't put out a new album – just one further single Bank Raid was released in June 1981 following the departure of Reid Savage. The last ever gig was a sold out night at the Greyhound in October 1981. Conrad Warre wanted to change the name of the band and change the royalty distribution and a compromise couldn't be reached.
