DARK
These guys from Islington, London were one of those numerous bands which bridged the gap between the primeval 1977 sound and the nastier strains of hardcore. The Dark were similar-sounding to The Wall, another band with whom they shared a highly political outlook and a baffling unfashionableness. Although a bit po-faced, The Dark invested their songs with incipient melody and interesting guitar motifs, and thoughtfully avoided the mindless rage typical of the time, addressing typical concerns (machismo, war, boredom) with subtlety and intelligence. They were an excellent band which deserves to be better known.
In May 1979 The Dark entered Bray Studio to record it's debut single, My Friends / John Wayne, which was produced by Steve Tannett and Noel Martin of Menace and released on Fresh. (Martin was also employed as the group's manager at this point.) The single offered two sides of basic and mundane catchy punk, with 'John Wayne' (which had originally written by Riff for The Suspects) the standout.
