(c’90-’94) Jay ? (?), Jase ? (?), Jay ? (?), Joe ? (?), and Janie ? (?)

This Godalming based death metal band released a demo cassette in ’91 and followed it with the self-released 3-track cassette EP, ‘Ultra Violence‘ in ’93. This was recorded at Studio 9, Brixton and engineered by LIV, across the 20 and 21 March ’93, and carried the title track, ‘Infectious‘ and ‘Insufferable Sickness‘ on both sides. The only complete name we have associated with the band to date is the listed EP’s cover artist, Becci Wood.

Annoyance’s 3-track cassette EP, ‘Ultra Violence‘ from ’93

The band were connected with Powergrind Promotions, also based in Godalming, who may have handled the bands bookings and management, although we suspect this was run by a band member. On 20 February ’93 the band were at The Cricketers, Westfield with Disturbance. Annoyance also appeared at the Guildford Council sponsored Rock Explosion 3, along with Blue, Strangeworld and Vox Pop, on 4 June ’93, at the Civic Hall, Guildford.
