The Membranes were a post-punk band formed in Blackpool, Lancashire in 1977, the initial line-up being John Robb, Mark Tilton, Martin Critchley and Martin Kelly. Their first release was the "Flexible Membrane" flexi-disc in 1980, and over the next 11 years they would go on to release 6 studio albums. The band pioneered the avant noise scene of Big Black and Sonic Youth by several years with their critically acclaimed 'Spike Milligans Tape Recorder', 'Death To Trad Rock' eps and their debut 'Gift Of Life' album. They were the first band to be signed to Alan McGee's Creation label but the deal fell though when McGee could not afford to pay their studio bill for the 'Spike Milligan's Tape Recorder' single. After The Membranes Robb went on to form Goldblade.
