The band ...
Although Impakt! was formed in 2010, the foundations for the band were laid as early as 1985 when schoolmates Sam and Vince discovered they shared an interest for electronic and experimental industrial music.
Sam had a band at that moment with PW on drums and Vince joined in for a while. As months passed it became clear that the time nor the place was not right for the three of them. Vince moved on to form an all electronic act “Advanced Art” while Sam and PW continued to work together with more traditional instruments. Their band evolved and became “Ruby Tuesday”, mixing influences from both Irish and rock music.
In 1993 Vince and PW got back together for a few years when “Advanced Art” needed an extra percussionist for live shows. PW became an essential part of “Advanced Art” playing live and even on their last release “Force”. After “Advanced Art” split in 1995 their ways parted for the second time.
Sam and PW kept on playing together all these years in different bands, some of them being quite successful in Finland. Vince on the other hand decided to retire from the scene and gave up writing music.
In 2010 PW contacted Vince after over 10 years and came up with an idea of a new band. He had a name in mind and suggested they should ask Sam to join in too. They decided to give it a go and started to write some songs together.

CRAWLING CHAOS ‘SPOOKHOUSE’ (EE25 - CD)
limited to 500 copies
Remember Crawling Chaos?
Debuting post-punk art rock ensemble on Factory UK with the single 'Sex Machine'/'Berlin' (1980). They soon got dumped to Factory Benelux (who released their first LP 'The Gas Chair' in early 1982) for being too unclassifiable. Too weird? What else left but to put up their own Foetus Products for the musical output of Crawling Chaos and their many other disguises.... They reached a modest cult status, especially with the LP albums 'The Big C' (1984) and 'Waqqaz' (1985). 'Spookhouse' is a collection of their last ever recordings from 1987, unpublished so far, except for 2 tracks that were previously released before on cassette compilations by EE Tapes in 1987 and 1990.
Hey, this is CD EE25, these tracks are 25 years old and this label is exactly 25 years old too this year!Coincidence does exist, let's throw a party! Jeff, this one's for you!
