Nuclear Socketts

The Nuclear Socketts formed in King’s Lynn, Norfolk in April, 1979. At their first gig later that year, John Peel was in the audience. He became an immediate convert and would later give the band considerable airplay. The band released two singles in 1981, the first of which was ‘Honour Before Glory’ 1st single/EP, released in January. It made No. 1 in the King’s Lynn chart. It was so successful that the band started their own label Subversive and released records by Reality, European Toys and Section A.
