ATAVISTIC formed from the remnants of two earlier Punk bands MENTAL BLOCKAGE and CRIES OF AGONY, and are perhaps the most well-known band to emerge from the Kent Hardcore Punk scene of the 80s. The chaotic hybrid of Crust/Grind which featured on their first two 7" EPs evolved into a slightly groovier Motorhead/Blues-tinged Thrash on their only LP, complete with the addition of distorted harmonica solos. John was later tragically killed in a motorcycle accident. Some tracks can be heard on their MySpace fanpage. Patrick McKernan went to to become a solo folk/blues performer. ![]()
