Throb was formed in 1987 or 88 and consisted of Jyl Bailey on vocals, Mark Fox on drums, Rob ? on bass and Andy Pickford on rythym and lead. Mr Ray Beer suggested Jyl join a band as he couldnt hear the records playing at a party due to her incessant singing ! A Throb set would be original numbers, influences including Led Zep, All about Eve (?), Stevie Nicks, bit of classic rock and punk rock plus two Iggy Pop numbers, Dirt and I Wanna be your dog. First lyrics focused on domestic violence and drug addiction (nice !) but soon made way for love when the writing therapy was no longer needed !
