Ex Pistols
The Ex Pistols were an English punk rock band from London, England formed in 1979 by former Sex Pistols producer Dave Goodman. Goodman put the group together after his services were substituted for those of other producers on the Sex Pistols album ''Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols''. The Ex Pistols existed as a sound-alike band meant to mislead fans due to the similar music, name, and artwork, until 1992 when the Sex Pistols successfully sued Dave Goodman and he was no longer allowed to use the name. Music The first Ex Pistols release "Land of Hope and Glory" was a punk rock version of the old English classic " Land of Hope and Glory" by Edward Elgar. Not only did it confuse fans but it also caused legal trouble between Dave Goodman and the publisher of the original piece, Boosey & Hawkes. The next recordings would appear on numerous Sex Pistols compilation albums including the songs "Schools Are Prisons" and " Revolution in the Classroom". The band re-a ...

Punk Rock
Punk rock (also known as simply punk) is a rock music genre that emerged in the mid-1970s. Rooted in 1950s rock and roll and 1960s garage rock, punk bands rejected the corporate nature of mainstream 1970s rock music. They typically produced short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles with stripped-down instrumentation. Punk rock lyrics often explore anti-establishment and Anti-authoritarianism, anti-authoritarian themes. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produce recordings and distribute them through independent record label, independent labels. The term "punk rock" was previously used by American Music criticism, rock critics in the early 1970s to describe the mid-1960s garage bands. Certain late 1960s and early 1970s Detroit acts, such as MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges, and other bands from elsewhere created out-of-the-mainstream music that became highly influential on what was to come.

Dave Goodman (record Producer)
Dave Goodman (29 March 1951 – 10 February 2005) was a record producer and musician, perhaps best known as the live sound engineer for Sex Pistols, and the producer of three of their studio demo sessions. Sex Pistols A few Sex Pistols fans prefer the raw "live" sound captured by Goodman to the official versions of the songs released as single A-sides and on the album ''Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols''. Goodman also maintained that many of his own production innovations and arrangement ideas in relation to the Sex Pistols songs were lifted and reused in the creation of the official releases. But many dislike the amateur sound in comparison to the overtly more professional official recordings the band chose to release. Recording sessions The first Goodman/Sex Pistols session was recorded between 13 and 30 July 1976 at the group's Denmark Street rehearsal room (with post-production at Riverside and Decibel Studios), when they were without a record contract.

Land Of Hope And Glory (Ex Pistols Song)
"Land of Hope and Glory" is a British patriotic song, with music by Edward Elgar, written in 1901 and with lyrics by A. C. Benson added in 1902. Composition The music to which the words of the refrain "Land of Hope and Glory" below are set is the 'trio' theme from Edward Elgar's ''Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1''. The words were fitted to the melody on the suggestion of King Edward VII who told Elgar he thought the melody would make a great song. When Elgar was requested to write a work for the King's coronation, he worked the suggestion into his ''Coronation Ode'', for which he used words provided by the poet and essayist A. C. Benson. The first and last sections of the ''Ode'' use the march's melody. The first five notes of the refrain are similar to the first two bars of ''God Save the King'' in an early version published in 1745. Owing to the King's illness, the coronation was postponed. Elgar created a separate song, which was first performed by Madame Clara Bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Deny (album)
''Deny'' is the second album released by the Ex Pistols in 1992. Due to the cover art, the band is often miscredited as the "Sexless Pistols". The album itself isn't an official, chart worthy album, but a promo pressing of approximately 600 copies.

There has never been much information given as to when and why the album was distributed, and as it was never available to purchase it is obviously not readily available. The record itself has become somewhat of a collector's item and copies are occasionally sold on eBay at varying prices.
