The Disco Zombies

Late-1970s/early-'80s, melodic Leicester, England punk band Disco Zombies included bassist Geoff Dodimead, drummer Andy Fullerton, guitarist Johnny “Guitar” Hawkins, and vocalist/guitarist Andy Ross, until Dave Henderson was added as a vocalist. The quintet recorded a four-track EP, but it went unreleased for some time. Numerous lineup changes followed over the years, and the band became a favorite of BBC DJ John Peel. In 2010, spurred by the Acute label’s plan to reissue the band’s three vinyl releases along with unreleased and live material, the band re-formed to play one show. Acute released Drums Over London the following September in vinyl and digital-download forms. ~ Andy Kellman
