Eater (band)
Eater are an early British punk rock band from North London who took their name from a Marc Bolan lyric.
In October 2001, the band's second single, "Thinking of the USA" (originally released in June 1977), was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time. In 1999, the track also appeared on the five-CD Universal Records box set 1-2-3-4 Punk & New Wave 1976-1979.
Their sound has been characterized as "run-of-the-mill dole queue punk rock" and "basic boy-ish punk rock".
In 2022, Andy Blade collaborated with rock'n'roll band JoJo & The Teeth in a new incarnation of Eater, starting with warm up gigs under the alias Ant.
The band was formed in 1976 by four high school friends from Finchley, North London: Anglo-Egyptian singer and guitarist Andy Blade (real name: Ashruf Radwan (name), guitarist Brian Chevette (real name: Brian Haddock) and Blade's brother, drummer Social Demise (real name: Lutfi Radwan).
The band's name came from a line in the Marc Bolan song "Suneye", from the 1970 T. Rex (album) which features the verse "Tyrannosaurus Rex, the eater of cars." Eater later recorded a cover version of T-Rex's "Jeepster."
Eater were known for being one of the youngest bands, if not the youngest band, in the punk scene. They were 14–17 years old when they formed the group. "They were basically young kids, striving to master their instruments and out to shock", according to Up Yours! A Guide to UK Punk, New Wave & Early Post Punk.
Despite originating in London, the band made its first public performance on 20 September 1976 at Manchester's Holdsworth Hall, featuring Buzzcocks as their support act. The band did not yet have a permanent bassist and rented a local musician for the show. Lutfi Radwan (aka Social Demise) was soon replaced by drummer Dee Generate (real name: Roger Bullen), and by November 1976, they had recruited bassist Ian Woodcock in time to play their first London gig. Lutfi Radwan went on to become a highly regarded scholar and academic, who now lectures in food ethics and the central role of sustainable living in a time of scarcity in the 21st century.
