Spawned from the dying belly of punk, New Apostles formed in Spring 1980 and made their first live appearance to rapturous acclaim at Sheffield University in December of that year. Adopting a guerilla approach to recording they released material sporadically through the years on cult Italian anarcho label Compact Cassette Echo. After 18 years and a multitude of line-up changes the band split in 1998. Although rumours of a reunion involving their three core members were circulated over the years, they amounted to nothing until this year when they dramatically announced their return with the promise of their first new material of the 21st century. Now they are back with West Bank and new album Apparatchiks (released March 2016).
