Mike Richards

Mike Richards (1970-1994) was the drummer for the band The Infection. He was known for his flamboyant sense of fashion and stage presence. Richards was openly bisexual but said he preferred women.

Mike recorded these demos with the band, even before Vaccine Slaughterhouse. He was the creative force behind many of the band's softer songs, because of his taste for shoegaze and other spacey genres.

Recording
Mike recorded the drums in his basement and was found dead the next day with a barely noticeable nose and the tapes in his hand. With permission from his parents, the tapes have been broadcast to the public.

Mike's death
Mike died at the age of 23 on January 24th 1994, even though the next day was his birthday. He was convinced by his "friend" to do this drug substance.

He collapsed and his friend just ran away. Jamie Dickinson-Adams, the dealer and "friend" was put behind bars two days after for possession of drugs and manslaughter.

Release
The album was promoted by Sandy and released on May 22nd 2017.
