- Hard_Corps_(English_band) abstract "According to a biography on Minimal Wave Records "Hard Corps were not French, they were actually from Brixton, South London. Hugh Ashton, Robert Doran and Clive Pierce, were introduced to chanteuse Regine Fetet, who, having never sung before had an enigmatic, fragile, human voice which, quite by fluke of nature, mated perfectly with the sound the three British sound engineers were creating. Working in unison with a heavily accentuated French vocal, the result was magnificent and unique. " Hard Corps were an electronic band that pioneered electronic music in the 1980's and released their fist EP in 1984 Dirty/Respirer on Survival Records, with Respirer also being released that year on The Art of Survival compilation EP along with bands such as Tik and Tok, Eddie and Sunshine and Richard Bone. Respirer was produced by Mute Records founder and electronic music production supremo Daniel Miller .In 1984 the band supported both Depeche Mode and The Cure in Europe and were on the cusp of making a real impact and hoped to support Depeche Mode when they returned to the USA, but according to a interview by Rob Doran for The Elcetricity Club " However, we were not invited possibly due to British and American Musician Union politics on support bands and reciprocal agreements, but I don’t think there was any chance with Regine’s onstage controversies anyway!" By the time that the band released their first Album in 1990, Produced by Martin Rushent they had in reality split up. Duran went on to write music for TV, radio, commercials and video with the singer from PERFECT STRANGERS, Rod Syers. Ashton carried on with Regine for a while doing PAs and using the HARD CORPS name before becoming THE SUN KINGS with former NAKED LUNCH member Paul ‘Driver’ Davis. As of 2014 Clive Pierce was still writing andproducing Electronic Music.The band is noteworthy for Regine's provocative performances, which often involved her removing her top on stage; an apocryphal story suggests that this may have been the reason for the band not supporting the Depeche Mode in the USA. Regine Fetet died of cancer in 2003, so there is no chance of any new material from the band, but a number of previously unreleased tracks were made available on Minimal Wave Records. The band was one of those that founded the EBM (Electric Body Music) movement.".
