Scorched Earth Policy are a legendary Christchurch band (and Flying Nun alumnus)
From 1983‐86, the group blackened the skies with a unique sound equal parts Southern no wave and post‐apocalyptic surf, adding the trademark tinges of ’60s garage / psych that coursed through the veins of every great Christchurch band from that era.
Not that this should come as a surprise, as their membership was a veritable
who’s who of the city’s finest musicians: Peter Stapleton (Vacuum, Pin
Group, Terminals), Mary Heney (25 Cents, Shallows), Brian Crook (Max Block,
Renderers, Terminals), Mick Elborado (Terminals, Shallows, Gas), Andrea Cocks
(Missing Piece Productions) and Andrew Dawson (Dedicated
Human).
