About the Artist
Apocalypse were formed in 1979 by three 15-year old school-mates in South London: guitarist Tony Fletcher, who also edited Jamming! fanzine, bassist Jeff Carrigan, and drummer Chris Boyle. The group played its first show that November and were picked to support The Jam the following year. Tony Page joined as vocalist and Kevin Bagnall as trumpet player in late 1981. Paul Weller produced the group's debut single 'Teddy'/'Release' in 1982 and Apocalypse went out on tour with The Jam twice that year: they were the support band at The Jam's final show in Brighton, December 1982. Apocalypse also played with bands as diverse as The Birthday Party, The Alarm and Delta 5. A record deal with EMI followed, but the group broke up in 1984 with just one more single behind them. The recordings on Going Up In The World include the Weller-produced single, two songs from the subsequent Teddy EP produced by Mott The Hoople's Dale Griffin and Overend Watts, two songs produced by reggae king The Mad Professor, and a number of self-produced recordings. There's also a brand new re-recording of the song 'Don't Stop' set to a video that traces the group's visual history.
Apocalypse were known for mixing different styles: punk, reggae, mod and funk among them. Going Up In The World: Apocalypse 1982-83 focuses on the peak period of the group's activity and celebrates their diversity of sound. It also tells a teenage story: from pre-pubescent love affairs with cuddly toys through alienation at school, on through exams and (r)ejection into the work force; days (and nights) out dancing, the inevitable infatuations and broken hearts and no shortage of the teen cult violence that was an equally unavoidable part of their south London upbringing.
