THE RISK are a band I know really well, being my local mod out fit for some years, when I lived in my home Island of Guernsey.
Have know Mark and the boys for some years, helping out The Risk and their other bands, Single File and Private Eye.
Always a brillent live band (I've seen them enough) and have released some excellent records, even EMI showed interest in them at one point, but it wasn't to be, coming from a small Island was a handicap that never got in their way though, even going to California for a year!!
THE RISK came back in 2002 with a fantastic new studio album 'Songs from the big tomarto' on Twist ' records and have recently 'New Religion' from the album on Biff bang pow records debut compilation cd along with the likes of
The Solarflares ,Long Tall Shorty ,Small World and The treads.
Live they also pleyed @ the Modaid alldayer with a host of other bands like Mark joesph and Rinaldisings .
More exciting news is that a complete compilation of all the bands recorded matrial from the Mark one mini lp onwards will be released on biff bang pow in the very near future - watch this space for news
