Vengeance
History
Norwich, England and formed in 1986. At first the band were half punk half skin and had an Oi! sound that attracted both crowds. The same year the band formed they released a demo. Band lineup for this demo was Daz on vocals, Tim on guitar, Rachel on bass and Tom on drums. This had changed for the bands first LP Forward Into War to Vernon on vocals/bass, Tom on drums and Andy on guitar. After guitarist Tim and bass player Rachel left the band, the band went towards a different change; new members and new ideals. The second generation of Vengeance became part of the right-wing nationalist movement. They released one EP and a full length and that was the end of the band, sometime around 1989.
