John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Fabric Band

Fabric was a UK Emo band formed in early 90's and separated in 1996, featuring Antony Sylvester of The Dukes Of Nothing/33/Turbonegro on bass and Chris Turner of Orange Goblin/The Dukes Of Nothing on drums. Other members included Andrew Hartwell, James Tilley, Kevin Williams.

Fabric were a rarity in the UK - a homegrown Emo band. Similar to many of the bands in North-East US (especially the DC area), Fabric helped paved the way for the emergence of UK Hardcore in the late-90s. They were signed to London-based Wiiija records, but due to the fact the band didn't fit in with other bands on the more indie Wiiija roster, Fabric appeared on their own imprint 'Wholecar', which also released records by similar-styles bands.

Fabric released three singles, an album 'Body of Water' and a mini-LP 'Lightbringer' before breaking up around 1996.

Links to Peel[]

Peel discovered the band in 1993 and so impressed by them that he invited the band to do a session later in that year, where they performed five tracks. He also added their Colossus single as part of the Peel Out In The States. After Peel's death it was later found out that he had a copy of their album, Body Of Water, in his Record Collection: F.
