The Pain formed in 1983,out of distorted and no disgrace,the band has
seen many line up changes,and up until 2007 still had 3 original
members.
we were influenced by the clash and 2nd wave of punk-ruts/uk subs
discharge etc,but never tried to sound like our influences,shaping the
band into their unique brand of ..punkfuckingrock...The Pain recorded
demo..s in 83/84/87/92/94,the songs were released as tapes,the bands
gigged with many of the uk..s finest,and finally released their debut
album in 2005,..Arab On The Hill..and 2008 will see their 2nd offering
released,titled-..-..Songs from the soil.....The Pain individually hold
many political and moral beliefs,but try not to over emphasise
that,mixing politics with humour and reggae/ska/hardcore aspects
combined with old school roots.
