The band had formed - and spent their formative years - in the town of Blackwood in South Wales. The locale had a radical history dating back to the Chartists, but in the 1970s and 80s it was devastated by the closure of coal pits and other heavy industry, and was left as a pile of "rubble and shit", as Edwards famously described it.
