Punk Rock Rarities Vol. 1



There are at least three different bands named Charge. 1.. Charge was a gothic rock / punk band from London, United Kingdom. Formed in the squat punk communities of London in the late 1970s, Charge, led by the inimitable Stu P Idiot, stood out from the crowd by incorporating elements of sexual deviance, high camp, glam and baroque punk, alongside an engaging and often surreal sense of humour. They were one of London's popular live acts of the period, cultivating a large fanbase, and were especially popular in mainland Europe where they regularly toured. 2. Charge was a 1970s psychedelic hard rock band from the United Kingdom. They recorded a private-LP in 1973. The album was re-released in 2006 by the Kissing Spell record label. The album consists of a loud, blistering sonic attack that rarely relents. 3. Charge was a hardcore band from Red Bank, NJ, United States. They were inspired by many styles, including hardcore/punk, funk, soul, rock, reggae and hiphop. Band members: G.Cole a.k.a. GIRI (vocals), Zion Brian Logan (guitars), Mike Kingshot (beats), Miles Logan ('low end'). Read more on Last.fm.
