Rudimentary peni are a British anarcho-punk/deathrock band formed in 1980 emerging from the London anarcho-punk scene. Lead singer/guitarist Nick Blinko is notorious for his witty macabre lyrics and dark pen-and-ink artwork prominently featured on all of Rudimentary Peni's albums. Blinko is also rumored to have written the band's Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric album while a resident in a psychiatric hospital. Bassist Grant Matthews has also written a number of songs for the band though his lyrics primarily focus on sociopolitical themes. Very few photos exist of the band as their albums feature Blinko's drawings instead but Pushead published a few in an early edition of his magazine. Line-up: Nick Blinko - vocals, guitar Grant Matthews - bass Jon Greville - drums
