Psycho Normal & His Stiff Victims
I didn't know these blokes personally, but I was aware of them at the time, they featured in a lot of graffitti around town and of course it's a brilliant name for a punk band. It just rolls off the tongue. I'm pretty sure they were there from the start, playing down the Vault.
It's not much to go on, so if any of you intrepid punkers know any more about them, personnel, brief history, photos, flyers, fanzines etc., get in touch and we'll add it to this page. Many thanks to Paul Martin for sending the cuttings in, what a splendid chap he is.
I'll have to speak to my old mucker Damage, he's pretty knowledgable about the early days, though how he's retained so much detail in memory is hard to fathom considering his appetite for oblivion back then. More power to yer elbow, DD.
Thanks to Roy Bayfield who sent us this email:

Nice to see a page about Psycho Normal. Remember seeing them in the New Regent. Graeme Hobbs was the vocalist; I can recall a guitarist called Dick Bone. A theatrical, crazy, committed combo. Graeme went on to front Tricks Upon Travellers and currently runs a lovely guest house in Spain!
I reminisced a bit here last year:
