Filthkick

Filthkick were an English hardcore punk band formed in 1989 and were based in Birmingham / Coventry. Although several drummers were trialed the first official lineup was: Jim (Ex Napalm Death / Ripcord) - Bass; Leggo (Ex Deviated Instinct) - Vocals; M4RK - Guitar and Ben Mochrie - Drums. Filthkick played their first gig in May 1989 at The Birmingham Barrel Organ supporting Extreme Noise Terror. The two bands hit it off and Filthkick continued to play support slots for Extreme Noise Terror. 
In 1989, Extreme Noise Terror invited Filthkick to record a split album - The two bands released the joint album In It For Life on Sink Below Records (The album has since been licensed to various labels worldwide)

==Links to Peel==
Peel first saw the band play at The Ipswich Carribean Centre (again supporting Extreme Noise Terror) in 1989. So impressed by them, he invited the group to do a session for his show later in that year. The following year in 1990, he invited the group again to perform a second session, which they played more than the usual 4 songs. After the group split in the early 90's, Peel never revisited them on later programmes.
