Walkingseeds

about

Walkingseeds were an alternative rock band from Liverpool, England, formed after the Mel-o-Tones split up in 1986. Frank Martin (vocals), Bob Parker (guitar), and John Neesam (drums) had previously worked together in the Mel-o-Tones, who released a mini-LP and an EP on Liverpool label Probe Plus. After working as The Corinthians for a few months, during which time they recorded a seven-track demo, they decided on a change of name to Walkingseeds, and debuted in June 1986 with the Know Too Much EP, still on Probe Plus.The band's sound was charecterised as "psychedelic grunge". Neesam departed and the others drafted in former Marshmallow Overcoat guitarist baz Sutton and drummer Tony Mogan. After the "Mark Chapman" single on their own Moral Burro label, they returned to Probe Plus with their debut album, Skullfuck (the title influenced by a Grateful Dead album cover), released in late 1987. The band worked with Kramer on the second album, Upwind of Disaster, Downwind of Atonement, released on Glass Records in 1989. Sutton departed to join The La's and was replaced by Andy Rowan for the Shaved Beatnik EP. The band drafted in Nick Saloman (aka The Bevis Frond) and brought in Lee Webster as a replacement for Rowan. The Sensory Deprivation Chamber Quartet Dwarf mini-album followed in 1989, and was their last release for Glass. After a split single with Bevis Frond, they moved on to Paperhouse Records for their next album, Bad Orb, Whirling Ball (1990). The band continued into the
