Dad’s Army

Thanks to Craig Sinclair for the info.

A few years later after Hybrid split, there was a major void in the Sydney scene for old school punk rock so Dad's Army was born.

 The lineup was Greg Sinclair - Guitar, Richard Beattie - Vox, Peter Davie (ex Rocks) - Guitar, Richard Ford (ex Terrible Virtue) - Bass and Allan Miller - Drums.

(Left to Right, Peter Davie, Richard Ford, Allan Miller, Richard Beattie and Greg Sinclair)

Fielding 3 sets worth of 70's - 80's punk we snagged a ton of great support slots (Damned, SNFU, Citizen Fish etc) then started head lining, doing a lot of shows with the legendary WW24.

We played for a few years until our backline and drums were stolen by a trusted friend (pawned for smack!) and we were over it so we called it a day.

Downtime

This band was formed by two members from Toe To Toe being Billy Hughes and Sean Lipset. Downtime was a hard hitting 3 piece with a powerfull & clean sound. Released a 7” ep and a CD. Sean is currently in A.V.O.
