Demented Are Go - Tangenital madness
Another great Iestyn Poulson production. You know what to expect from Demented Are Go - depraved, twisted lyrics and music with Sparky's unique voice.... Many try to imitate, but few even get close...

"This is good. Really, really good, far better than Orgasmic Nightmare in my opinion. The studio production is really good. And the songs are good, I even like the Intro better than the intro from O.N. Some of my favorite songs are on here, which is a bit redundant because most of Demented Are Go's songs are my favorite songs. But anyway, songs like 'Brand New Corpse', 'Gambling Queen, 'Zombie Stalk' and 'The Chase' make this one a winner in my book. I always wanted to hear what 'The Chase' sounded like on CD, and it sounds good. Also, a Jimi Hendrix cover, and you can tell when it gets there, that it is no normal song. I can never get enough Demented Are Go. It's starting to get to the point where it's hard for me to find Demented Are Go stuff I don't have, I'm not sure how much of it there is, but when it does come out I'll be all over it." Josh K
Trying to determine just when and how Demented Are Go started is not an exact science as the band members themselves admit that their memories are not all that good, but we do know that by 1982 the band were up and running. Guitarist Dick Thomas (no relation to Ant) helped pull the whole thing together, having been in a lot of bands before Demented, he knew how to get things moving. Demented Are Go had their first release on the 1984 Nervous Records compilation album 'Hells Bent On Rockin' but it was not until about 18 months later that their album 'In Sickness And In Health' was released on ID Records. A few years on the band members could be found all living in the same squat in London with no electricity - this would have been around '87-88-ish. They started writing songs acoustically, by candle light. These songs surfaced - again on ID - as the album 'Kicked Out Of Hell'. Tours of Germany and mainland Europe followed and Demented Are Go found themselves playing at punk gigs as well psycho events. Sparky started living at various big organised squats and existing on diet of drugs and alcohol......
