Vengeance, Fight for your Life, LP

Vengeance was a RAC band, an anti-communist oi/punk band from Norwich, formed in 1985. With Daz on vocals, Tim on guitar, Rach on bass and Tom on drums, the band expressed their political views in raw sounds. Before their debut LP “Forward into War” in 1988, two demo tapes with different line-ups were released in 1986 and 1987.

In 1987, Tim and Rach left the band, and Vernon and Andy took over on bass and guitar. Shortly afterwards, Daz also left the band and Vernon took over both vocals and bass. While Andy now works as a policeman and Vernon sadly died from an incorrect dose of medication, Tom is the last remaining member.

Tom occasionally gives interviews and describes the experiences of the time when Vengeance stirred up the RAC scene with their music and message. A journey through the history of a band that left its mark. The three British musicians created their own unmistakable style, which is still unparalleled today and which, if you like, can easily be described as Oi!Core.
