The Shriekback Pages
News:
- Website updates - or rather, lack of. I must apologise,
since September 2009 I have been unable to update the site for a variety
of reasons. Normal service will be resumed at some point but in the meantime
I really must mention Shriekback's latest album 'Life In The Loading Bay',
out now on Malicious Damage records (link as below). It sees the welcome
return of Carl Marsh to the fold and is well worth buying. I'll post more
details when I'm better able to update the site.
- Shriekback's other most recent two albums are
Cormorant (released 7th
November 2005, repackaged with bonus tracks in June 2008) and
Glory Bumps (released May
2007). Both of these are available from Malicious Damage Records.
- You may also be interested in Monstrance, an
improvised album featuring Barry Andrews, Martyn Barker and XTC's Andy
Partridge. This was released on 2nd April 2007 on Ape House Records.

Introduction
These pages contain information about the band Shriekback.
There is a complete discography of Shriekback and many related artists,
a smattering of pictures, the most up-to-date Shriekback information you'll
find anywhere (I hope!), and an ever-increasing collection of lyrics.
Thanks for visiting!
Index
- The Notes, Credits and Copyright Notice
includes some important notes regarding the discography pages, but also
applies to all of the other pages on this website.
This especially applies if you are thinking of stealing my work
(not to mention years of effort and considerable sums of money
invested) and pasting it on your own website. Please don't. It
helps no-one to have out-of-date copies floating around, quite
apart from being plagarism, a breach of copyright, and generally
pretty bad form. Yes I have noticed.
- Information pages:
- The Shriekback Blueprint was
included with some copies of the 'Hand On My Heart' 7"
single and includes a nice history of the band up to mid-1984.
- Naked Apes & Pond Life
- more information on Shriekback's album from the mid-90s.
Some bizarre instruments might have died to make this...
- Cormorant - more information on
the latest album (released on 7 November 2005).
- More information on the Kevin Wilkinson tribute Green Indians which features
otherwise unreleased material by Shriekback-related bands
Illuminati, The Caretakers and The Refugees.
