Once apart of the big UK hardcore movement of the 80's, Ripcord were formed in 1984 in Weston-Super-Mare, England by Steve "Baz" Ballam and John Millier, playing an intense up-tempo style of hardcore very much inspired by the likes of Siege and Discharge. The band had a well established reputation in the scene despite being short lived, opening for such acts like Napalm Death, Heresy, Doom.
These are photos from concerts where Ripcord played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
