DELUXE RED VINYL EDITION!!! The band formed in December 1980 in the UK, Bradford and set about recording heavy, melodic, intense tribal music with no frills and pretentions. The band were an early contributor to what became the Goth genre (Gods and Alchoves). 1919 had indie chart success with the 1982 singles like "Caged", "Repulsion" and the much loved "Cry Wolf EP" as well as the mini 1983 six track LP called "Machine". They also recorded two great John Peel Sessions but disbanded in 1984. One last record was released though that same year 'Earth Song', which was a 12 inch EP on Abstract Records BUT the release to the bands disapproval as the released 4 songs were in fact unfinished demos!
