SELF ABUSE - Unestablished Since 1982 LPSelf Abuse was formed in Bournemouth, Dorset in January 1982 when Andy Nazer [vocals bass] and Dave Brown [guitar vocals] both 16 old and still at school, got together with Roger [later Jarvis] Smale [guitar] and Steve Ridgeway [drums] both age 17. The first gig was played in at the Sloop pub, Poole, [with Barbed Wire] in October and the first cassette 'State of Mind' was recorded and released on their own 'Abused Tapes' label later that year. 1983
