Lawnmower Deth

Lawnmower Deth are an English thrash metal band, who parodied the genre and recorded four albums. Initially active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, they reformed in 2008.
Lawnmower Deth were formed in Ravenshead, Nottinghamshire, England in 1987 by friends Chris Flint, Joseph Whitaker, Pete Lee, Steve Nesfield and Chris Parkes, along with Gavin ‘Paddy’ O’Malley from Colwick.
Their first official release was a split album with Metal Duck. Lawnmower Deth's side of the record was entitled Mower Liberation Front and positive responses led to their debut studio album, Ooh Crikey, It’s… Lawnmower Deth. Their second studio album, Return of the Fabulous Metal Bozo Clowns, was released in 1992. For this release, Paddy was replaced by Kev Papworth.
The band covered several famous songs in their time, including Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain",Motörhead's self-titled song, Squeeze's "Up the Junction", The Osmonds' "Crazy Horses", and Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" which was released as the band's only single in 1991.
==Links to Peel==
Peel had a copy of the band's first official release which was a split album with Metal Duck in 1989, but didn't seem to play any Lawnmower Deth tracks from it on his radio programmes. It was only until 1991, that he played their cover version of Kim Wilde's 'Kids In America'. After that, he didn't play any of their material on his shows.
