Hello

Welcome to the official Severed Heads web site. The band is over, but you can still hear and buy most releases from 1979 to 2008. The museum collects music, video and images by and about the band. It also offers useful information about the 'post punk', 80's underground and early digital music eras.

For anything since 2008, please visit my Tom Ellard website.
The last exhibit there is Trans Oceanic.

We do NOT have any pages on Facebook or MySpace.

Op4 Robots Disco Dead People Originally intended to be an album called Laptop Pop, a robbery forced a quick reworking of the album as Op (the missing parts of the title being stolen). Haste caused defects and it was released again as Op1.1 and then Op2 a few years later... followed by Op2.5 and so on. Each presented the music at the 'first breath' - before the usual tweaking and refinement of the raw inspiration. A tradition soon formed around the album never being completed and we present yet another reworking here as a set of free downloads.

The Adenoids 1977-1985 boxed vinyl set is near to selling out. Thanks to everyone who bought a copy. If you want one you need to move fast and visit Vinyl On Demand.

December 13th is our favorite date and to celebrate 30 years of satire there's a special event planned around that date. There's a whole bunch of videos being made for the big day and I'll be posting up rough edits and still as they show up.

For more frequent updates you can visit the blog. But it's not very sensible.
