With the Success of the EP led to an invitation to join The Exploited, Discharge, Anti-Pasti, and The Anti-Nowhere League to go to the now infamous Apocalypse tour that rampaged through the UK in the summer of '81. On a sadder note, Floyd (one of the later members of the group) died October 31, 1999.
Pete Dimmock sadly died on the 12th August 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
