Chelmsford-rooted UK punk band formed in the 1970s
Formed in Chelmsford in late 1977, THE DEEP THROATS made a big impression on the Essex punk scene, and built up a sizeable following in the local area.
In 1978 the classic single "Rock 'n' Roll Discharge" was released on the short lived Limp label. It was the Number One seller in Chelmsford record shops, keeping ABBA at Number Two. It was also favourable reviewed in Melody Maker and NME, and was regularly played by the likes of Mike Read and John Peel. Now it sits near the top of many collector's wants lists and changes hands for a tidy sum.
THIRD DART are a three man independent band on a journey through sound and vibrations. The Chelmsford rockers blend the heavy bass-lines of Haydn Upson with the complex rhythms of drummer Mike Salmon, while Tom Peplow demonstrates an incredible dynamic range both vocally, and on guitar.
