Loop – Arclite

Description

          Loop was formed in 1986
by Robert Hampson (vocals, guitar), with his then-girlfriend Becky Stewart on drums. Stewart was later replaced by John Wills (The Servants) and Glen Ray, with James Endeacott on guitar. Their sound was influenced by Krautrock and No Wave influences and relied heavily on three-chord riffs. Initially releasing records on Jeff Barrett’s Head label, their first release was 1987’s “16 Dreams”, with debut album Heaven’s End following later that year. The band was then signed up by Chapter 22 Records.
