     Shock Headed Peters was formed by Karl Blake (after the split of Lemon Kittens and the release of a solo album 'Prehensile Tales'), Lord Ashley Wales and David Cadbury Knight in 1982. They were joined by Mark Rowlatt (Metabolism) and Clive Tigger Glover to make the full first line-up of the band who recorded three EPs , Bloodbrother Be (£4000 Love Letter), The Kissing of Gods and Life Extinguisher and an album Not Born Beautiful. Knight had been in The Fast Set and, with Wales, Five or Six. Before a note of original music was recorded Blake insisted that the band rehearse for a month in Wales basement, playing only covers - in order to create as tight as possible a unit.
     A very diverse album, not really in common with the post-industrial scene showing Karl Blake's fascination of 70's hardrock but taking it to a whole new level.
