Chron Gen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chron Gen were a British punk band.
Chron Gen were formed in January 1978 in Stevenage, Hertz. Ex members of The Condemned and Optional Xtras fused into Chron Gen. The members were Glenn Barber (Vocals/guitairist), Jon JJ Johnson (Drummer) Jon Thurlow (Rythym guitar) and Pete Dimmock (Bassist). The band released their debut EP "Puppets of War" (also had singles versions of Lies Chronic Generation, and Mindless Few)
With the Succes of the EP led to an invitation to join The Exploited, Discharge, Anti-Pasti, and The Anti-Nowhere League to go to the now infamous Apocalypse tour that rampaged through the UK in the summer of '81. On a sadder note, Floyd (one of the later members of the group) died October 31, 1999.
