PHIL VANE R.I.P

I'm absolutely gutted to report that Phil Vane, one half of Extreme Noise Terror's core duo since forming in 1985, has died.

I had the pleasure of chatting to Phil a few times, he introduced me to loads of old  Japanese hardcore bands, kept me in the loop with his and Dean's various projects, and was generally an all-round solid gentleman. Totally disinterested in all the bullshit and willywaving that is generally required to get ahead in the music industry, he was, as far as I'm concerned, every bit the devoted, hardworking and uncompromisingly ethical old punk that you'd expect from someone who made hardcore his life.

Much sincere love, respect and sympathy goes out to his friends and bandmates.
