The British trio Janus Stark may have released their first album in 1998 (Great Adventure Cigar, on Trauma), but the band (Gizz Butt-vocals/guitars, Shop- bass, and Pinch-drums) has been together since the early '80s, touring the world and releasing albums under the name English Dogs. After releasing several independently released punk classics, the band folded in the late '80s due to the fact that the punk scene in England was growing more and more violent (with unwanted neo-nazi skinheads bullying around the punk regulars).
