Asylum was a short-lived yet highly influential hardcore punk band from Stoke-on-Trent, England, active between 1981 & 1982. Formed by a group of punks and skinheads, they embraced the “Noise Not Music” ethos, delivering an aggressive sound characterized by detuned guitars, fuzzed bass, rapid drumming, and raw vocals. Their intense style earned them the label “1,000 M.P.H. Hardcore Punk” and inspired future acts like Skum Dribblurzzzz and Napalm Death. Asylum’s impact on the hardcore punk scene was significant. Since the 2020s, Asylum has been actively performing live. (The Resurgence) Slate and Beano continue from the original line up and have been joined by Jan Shaw on bass and Dave Bridgewood on Drums. Jan, also known as “Yan Tree”, is a writer & artist rooted in the Leeds punk & anarchist scenes from the 70s & 80s. Dave is the drumming legend whose been with Discharge since 2006. Asylum continue to embody the raw energy & political edge that defined their early years
