Formed by Damien “Smeg” Channing on vocals, Jason Channing on guitar, Richard Lewis on drums and… the owner of the Soundcloud account that has The Adored songs… he left no name.
That’s great. I wonder why would anyone do that? I find the pretty song “Atom Bomb Subculture” and I think this is superb, I need to find more. But yeah, the details are incomplete.
We know though that the song was recorded in 1988.
There is another track by this band. One called “Heading for a Wall“. This one also dating from 1988. An interesting thing here is that I do find that the person behind this Soundcloud had the last name Allcock.
And two more, “Gone to Seed” and “Maybe the World Will Change Tonight” also both from 1988.
In this account there are songs since as early as 1984 and as late as 1997. Sadly there are not many mentions of the bands that made these songs.
We know this mystery Allcock was in other bands like Sulphate. The Great Family of Man, The Funk Furious Five and Delphi.
We also know that this bands hailed from the UK.
I look for the band members and I think I may be in the right path. Perhaps. I find that there were a Jason Channing and a Damion Channing in a band. Not Damien, but Damion. But MAYBE? This band was called The Blocked and were around in the mid 90s. They hailed from Newport, Wales.
I wonder if my detective instinct is right here. The dates make sense. The instruments they play also seem to be correct.
What is true though is that I can’t find anything about The Adored, nor about the mysterious Allcock who I saw went under the name Delphi on a few Youtube videos.
Anyone remember them?
