Thin Red Line were formed in Ryde,Isle of Wight in late 1978 out of the ashes of the band 'The Underdogs'
The Underdogs gigged around the island during 1978,their biggest gig supporting the Lurkers at Ryde Town Hall that summer.
Thin Red Line played mostly cover songs with a few originals.The first line-up featured Shaun Newnham (vocals),Jimson on Guitar,Bob Piper (bass) and Razzle on drums.Philip Oswaid (AKA SG Coolbridge),who was also in 'Pumphouse Gang',replaced Jimson as guitarist.Local musician Loris Valvona stood in on bass for a couple of gigs at the "Prince Consort" in Ryde.
The final line-up featured Shaun Newnham on vocals,Matt Kellett (Guitar),who would go on to play with Johnny Thunders and also play on the 'Fallen Angels' 2nd album "In Loving Memory" with Knox and Nasty Suicide,Mark Lewis on Bass and Damon Lewis on Drums.
The bands biggest gig was supporting 'The Damned' at the Puckpool Leisure Centre in Ryde in April '79.
It was during this time that Nick Dingley got his nickname of Razzle,given to him by John Edwardes the singer from Pump House Gang.He mentioned to Nick that he was always "Out on the Razzle".
Live,their set mainly consisted of cover versions of current Punk songs:
Ramones~'Blitzkrieg Bop'.
The Damned~'New Rose'
The Clash~'Tommy Gun'
Generation X~'King Rocker'
Public Image Limited~'Public Image'
Most of the Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks' album.
Material was recorded in the studio,most of which was recorded after the departure of Razzle,who set off to seek his fortune in London.They did record one song with Razzle called "Holy War"at a small 4-track studio in East Cowes.It was engineered by Tim Muncaster.The line-up for this recording session was:Shaun Newnham (Vocals),Phillip Oswald AKA SG Coolbridge (Guitar),Nigel Higgs (Bass),Razzle (Drums).All the material remains unreleased.
Jimson and Bob Piper (AKA Boo) moved to London along with Razzle and the Three of them played in the final line-up of Demon Preacher with Nik Wade in 1981.
