Colon

Colon were a band from the Isle Of Man who were active from 1989-1991 and consisted of Selwyn Callister (Guitar), Nicky Smith (Bass/Vocals), Colin Christian (Samples/Guitar) and Phil Reynolds (Guitar/Vocals). Heavily influenced by Big Black and Sonic Youth, they released a 12" EP - titled "164" in 1990 on Comedy Pope Records, distributed by Backs/Cartel. They recorded a Peel Session in 1990, which was broadcast twice. The band reformed shortly in 2008, but split afterwards.

Peel played tracks from the EP several times, including one memorable night when he opened his show not with his theme tune, but with the statement "I think there's something wrong with your radio, listeners..." followed by the mentalist blast of "Smizzle". Tracks were also played by him on the BBC World Service.
