Andy Williams

dr,
Musician of Alternative

Drummer with 'Anarcho' band Exit-Stance Whilst preparing to tour their first E.P. Crime Against Humanity, alongside Conflict (2) the band got into a bad car accident, before it started, resulting in Andy being taken to the hospital unconscious, slung over someone's shoulder. After the tour, Andy left the band due to an illness and was replaced by their friend Darren 'Daz' Pugh who played some shows with the band until he ditched them at a gig, leaving Conflict's drummer Paco (9) to fill. The band then managed to get in touch with Andy and they begged him to rejoin the band, which he agreed to do. Andy returned just in time to record the While Backs Are Turned... 12" which was released in 1986, and a tour was played with Conflict to promote it. The tour involved several gigs were they had to fight back against constant threats from skinheads and the police. Unfortunately, the band became disillusioned with the scene, claiming to have gotten tired of the'constant criticism... being judged all the time, attacked for not being perfect,... people always wondering if we were conforming to the 'anarchist rule book'! ' The band did begin working on their next album, but split while writing new material. In 2003 the band reformed, but it didn't last long and they split soon after.
