New Dawn

 

History

New Dawn came from Greenock, Scotland and were named after a bulldog pet who had died just before Skrewdriver‘s Hail The New Dawn was released. The band was started in December of 1984 by the brothers Wullie McClure on vocals and guitar and Wattie McClure on bass and “Big” Ronney Scott on drums. Who had played in the bands Intensive Care and White Pact. In 1985 to 1986 the band made a few gigs more including the 1985 RAC Suffolk Fest with Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack, Die Hards etc. The band split up due to personal differences between the bassist and guitarist. Steve Sharkey came in the bass for a while but soon they split up again. The band were asked to record some tracks for the White Noise LP No Surrender. They recorded Free To Lie and Master Race, and Free To Lie was chosen as the better song.
