Former Negative Earth members Mark Chapman (Vocals) and Julian "Guts" Gutsell (Guitar/vocals) form the nucleus of a new powerpop/punk band. They are joined by experienced former Cassettes drummer Andy Upstone.
Auditions follow to recruit a bass player and Ian Foster , from Bristol, is the unanimous choice.
The final line up is complete and Noiz Boiz is officially launched on an unsuspecting west country public in March 1981.
