Syndromes, The
1980-1983 Recordings
Another long lost Punk gem that never got the recognition that they deserved at the time. Starting life at the tail end
of Punk in 1979, the band started off with one foot in the spirit of Punk but soon developed their own unique sound,
greatly inspired by The Beatles, The Clash, Joy Division etc. They were formed out of boredom and dreams, like a million
other bands.
Started by Northampton schoolmates Mark Refoy and Nick Meeks, they employed the services of another schoolfriend, Carlo
Marocco, to be their drummer. Marocco later built his own recording studio, one of his early clients being Spacemen 3.
After their debut gig at Hackleton Memorial Hall their drummer was replaced by John Lucibello, who played drums for
local Northampton punk legends The Russians. Nick Meeks was subsequently replaced on bass by Steve Harshaw, another
figure on the Northampton punk scene.
After a couple of years playing in Northampton pubs and clubs and several London shows the band, also like a million
others, fizzled out and everybody went their separate ways, most notably Mark Refoy who went on to play guitar in
Spacemen 3, Spiritualized and Pet Shop Boys.
