Stormtrooper formed and disbanded in a fury in 1975 before punk rock arose
out of the ashes of glam and pub rock!. Their debut single "I'm A Mess" was described by the British music press as "the sound of a commuter being shoved under a tube train in the rush hour, one for howling at the moon and a tale of drunkenness in the wild of Soho" The band formed at the bar in the Marquee¨ Club by British frontman Nigel Hutchings and bassist Jeff Piccinini who recruited John Pilka on guitar and Mike Lee on drums. They recorded a demo of 4 songs in August of 1975 and then signed with
Corruption Management on the Portobello Road for a couple of pints and some distant promises. The band played only one gig at the Bath Pavilion, then split-up. This, ladies and gentlemen, was before the birth of punk rock and the tracks of this anthology are pure “punk” before... punk!!!!
