So far, no official releases exist for any of these bands. However, a large number of demos were recorded by them over the years.
Zak's first band, formed with the two Seaton brothers who lived next door.
In 1980 they changed the name from The Next to Dead Meat.
band details
In 1980, Zak, Kerry and Roger left Dead Meat. For a short time they, with Martin Jowers on keyboards, went back to calling themselves The Next. This lineup served as the backup band at a session for dancer-hoping-to-turn-pop-star, Erin Lordan. Two of the songs recorded, What's a Girl Gotta Do and Please Me, were written by bandmember Roger Lewis. The band also recorded a number of tunes for their own use during this time. Another know song title from around this time is All I Want Is You, written by Martin Jowers.
During
1980, the band, minus a lead singer, recorded about 15 songs. In April of 1981,
they found their lead vocalist - Ian Parry. He laid down the vocals on ALL the
tracks in one marathon session at Startling Studios. A few more sessions were
eventually held at Rock City Studios later in the band's existence.
Near the end of 1983, Mono Pacific was apparently close to signing with a major label [Atlantic?]. Unfortunately the band was unable to work out contractual agreements with its own management, leading to no contract, and ultimately to the demise of the band.
