Rabid

The Bloody Road To Glory

Rabid formed in 1979, undergoing several line-up changes before settling on Nick Edwards (vocals), Dean Grant (bass), and Paul Rayner (guitar), and Keith Penny (drums). After recording a 5-track demo in 1981, they released their debut EP, 'Bloody Road to Glory,' on their own Blank Label imprint. The EP was a hit in the UK Indie Chart after receiving airplay from John Peel in his BBC Radio 1 show, reaching number 47, and it also reached #14 in the NME Punk chart. After the EP's distributor, Fresh, went out of business, owing money to Fall Out Records, Fall Out reissued the EP later in 1982. Rabid appeared on national British television in 1982 on Newswatch U.K. and in a Canadian documentary on the youth of England. During 1983 they played on the same bill as bands such as G.B.H., The Exploited, and the U.K. Subs. Fall Out issued the band's next release, the eight-track 'Bring Out Your Dead' 12-inch mini-LP, which reached number 45 in the indie chart in 1983, and #10 in the NME Punk Chart. By 1983, Rayner had been replaced. The final line-up of the band had Grant joined by Troy (vocals), Steve (guitar), and Max (drums); this line-up recording the tracks 'Bloody Road To Glory' and 'Black Cat,' which were included in the 'Punk Lives! - Let's Slam' compilation in 1986. The band split up in 1986. In 2006, Fall Out released a 12-track CD collection of the band's work as 'Bloody Road to Glory,' adapting the artwork from the original EP.
