Play Dead Concert History

Play Dead was an English goth rock group from Oxford that grew out of the fading English punk scene in 1980. Though the band was identified with groups like UK Decay and Sex Gang Children, the band felt they didn't belong under the "Gothic" title. The band made three studio albums for four different small labels - Fresh Records, Jungle Records, Situation 2, and Clay Records - before forming their own label, "Tanz", for their final album, Company Of Justice, which appeared in 1985.
