Biography

Forgodsake formed in 1990 by Kevin Ridley, Steve Wallace, Drew Gallon, Gary Binns and Chris McCormack.[1] They recorded a demo and signed to Bleeding Hearts Records, toured with bands such as Girlschool and The Wildhearts, then released their debut album, Blasthead, in 1993. In late 1994 McCormack and Wallace both left the band, with Ridley taking up guitar to fill in.

They released their second album, Gunk, in 1996, with solo contributions from Skyclad guitarist Steve Ramsey. Ridley left in 1997 to join Skyclad (who he had been acting as a producer for years prior) as a second guitarist, later taking up vocal duties for them as well.

Gallon and Wallace later went on to form punk rock band Automatic. Chris McCormack also formed a new band, 3 Colours Red, with Pete Vuckovic, Ben Harding and ex-Skyclad drummer Keith Baxter.
