JOHN SEATON - Guitar/Vocals, born; London, England

MAIN BAND HISTORY:

Vocalist in ASHES TO ASHES 1992-1993. This group was basically the last incarnation of Treason under a different name. We recorded a couple of demos and gigged a bit. Then supported Neurosis one night and were sufficiently blown away enough to prompt 3 of the guys to leave and form ‘Pulkas’, who were quite successful for a while.

1993-2004 concentrated on writing songs and recording demos.

Formed EGO PRIME as vocalist/guitarist 2004-2005 featuring Harvey Bainbridge ex Hawkwind on keyboards and John Bootle ex Stray on bass. Did a couple of gigs with them and recorded an album which featured material that has since been re-worked and included on the two treason albums. Couldn’t get the album sounding right at the time and sent myself skint trying to do so. Shelved the band soon after.

Re-formed TREASON 2009. approached a few ex band members but they weren’t interested so started advertising for new guys. Recorded a demo album which I still wasn’t happy with but it was enough to get us a deal with Casket records. Recorded first official album Lambs To The Slaughter May 2011. More line up problems ensued which meant we were out of action most of that year. Finally got what I hope to be a stable line-up and recording second album ‘Hell Is A Place On Earth’ for release this coming May 2012.
