THE INFESTED Canterbury, Kent

TONY TARRATS - VOCALS DON TURNBULL - BASS AIDEN 'TIG' CHALLIS - DRUMS PAUL STREET - GUITAR*

*Later to be replaced by TOM JOHNSON

One of the earliest Punk bands to form in Kent. Quite a lot of press surrounded this band as it was rumoured that they actually released two EPs. These releases were featured in various fanzines and as well as the Zig Zag Magazine which listed the majority of independent releases as they happened. This magazine was an ESSENTIAL guide to let fans / collectors know what was coming out. This mystery continues to this day as collectors around the world still list this EPs on their WANTS LISTS!

The two EPs were:

"FLIES EP" 7" (DEAD CITY RECORDS) release date; 20.01.78.

"1977 HERE WE COME" 4 track EP 7" (DISASTER RECORDS) release date 5.6.78.

As soon as Tom Johnson joined the band, they changed there name to " Wasteland " and went onto release two singles that we know exists!

Thanks to Tom Johnson, Ben Challis & Joe Public
