Getting the Fear were an English gothic rock musical ensemble of the 1980s. Its members were Barry (Jepson), Buzz (David Burrows), Aki Nawaz (Haq Qureshi), and Bee (Paul Hampshire). The band was formed largely of former members of Southern Death Cult, with the exception of the singer Bee who replaced Ian Astbury on vocals.
After the band dissolved, Bee and Barry went on to form Into A Circle. Aki and Buzz formed a band called Joy, which played few gigs in the mid 1980s, one being at London Zoo (club night was called 'Zoo') though this partnership was short lived. Bee later moved to Thailand and joined the electro-rock band Futon alongside Simon Gilbert from Suede. Barry became a tour manager for bands in the UK. Aki went on to form the political Islamic hip-hop group Fun-Da-Mental and to create the label Nation Records. Buzz moved to the south of France and became an antiques dealer.
