Attrition releases live album ‘Death House Variations’ recorded live at The Tin in Coventry on September 10

After nearly 40 years the original Attrition line up, that recorded “This Death House” over 2 afternoons in 1982, reunited with the addition of new member Simon Stansfield, to perform “Death House Variations”, a first ever live performance, based on the original “This Death House” recordings, with additional Attrition material and new variations.
This is an extract from the first show, peformed at The Tin Music and Arts in their hometown of Coventry, England, as part of the 2021 UK City of Culture year. The line-up consisted of Martin Bowes, Richard Woodfield, Ashley Niblock and Simon Stansfield.
The material was mixed and mastered from the multitrack recording by Martin Bowes. There will be more performances and an all new follow up album to the original, which was remastered and reissued earlier this year.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
