Bad Dress Sense was an English mid-80's punk band consisting of Ed Wenn (guitar), Jason R. Cook (drums), Nick Norris (vocal) and Paul Condon (bass). The band only released one album and one single before splitting up in the summer of 1987.
Links to Peel[]
The band did a session for Peel's show in 1987. So impressed, Peel repeated their session three times and featured it as one of his favourite sessions on his 23 December 1987 show.
Guitarist Ed Wenn later joined Sink, who did three sessions for Peel's programmes in the late 80's and early 90's.
