Cultural Amnesia

Cultural Amnesia (CA) are Ben Norland, John Peacock and Gerard Greenway. Based in a picturesque village about 40 miles west of London, they were first active 1980–1983, when they became a part of the “cassette culture”, the post-punk subculture of musicians making music entirely independently and releasing it on cassette tapes, themselves or through small cassette labels. During this period CA released three albums on small labels and appeared on numerous compilations. In the late 1990s the band gradually resumed activity and recent years have seen new recordings and the release of selections of their 1980s output: Enormous Savages (Anna Logue Records 2006), Press My Hungry Button (VOD-Records 2007), Enormous Savages Enlarged (Klanggalerie 2009). “It’s Coming” and “Contains” were both recorded in 2006. CA are now looking for a label to release an album of their new material.
