The Ejected
The Ejected were an English punk rock/Oi! band from Dagenham, London, active mainly between 1981 and 1983. But they are now back together and touring the world. The band now sell books at their concerts which talk about their rise to fame. History The band was formed by ex-Dawn Patrol members Big Jim Brooks (vocals, guitar), Gary Sandbrook (bass, vocals), and drummer Mick 'Sticks' Robinson. They cited UK Subs, Cockney Rejects, Angelic Upstarts and The Clash as major influences. Signing to the Riot City label, their first release was a contribution to the various artists compilation Carry On Oi. 1982 saw the release of the band's debut EP Have You Got 10p, a song which once saw the band answered by a shower of 10p coins throughout their set. The EP reached number 8 in the UK Indie Chart, and saw the band receive a lot of press coverage, including an interview by Garry Bushell in Sounds. This was followed by the Noise For The Boys EP, and debut album A Touch Of Class, with Paul Griffiths replacing Robinson on drums. Sandford then left the band for a short while, replaced by former 'D.I.R.T.' bassist Paul Quain for the Press
