Severed Heads are one of the longest standing bands to have emerged from the Australian post-punk and experimental scene. They began in Sydney in 1979, and were an early outfit to incorporate elements of 'industrial' noise-generation, tape cutting & looping and electronic sound synthesis. As the project developed, song-structures and vocals were employed in a more-or-less recognizable mutant electro pop style. After many line-up changes featuring Gary Bradbury and psychedelic guitarist Simon Knuckey, Severed Heads became the solo vehicle for composer Tom Ellard. 
In 1983 they released a C-60 cassette called “Since The Accident” that grabbed the attention of Ink Records, a subsidiary of Virgin in the UK.  Ellard added a throwaway track at the last minute to fill out the cassette, not wanting to leave an unseemly gap on a C60 tape. This track, “Dead Eyes Opened” was catchy enough to get a lot of airplay on the main non-commercial radio station in Sydney. The band was asked to make this song into a 12” single. For this extended version, Tom Ellard and producer Patrick Gibson went to M Squared studio and passed the multitracked recordings through various EQ's and delays. “Dead Eyes Opened” features samples from a radio program narrated by Edgar Lustgarten, a crime journalist from England, referencing a double murder case that occurred in 1924. The rhythms are made by a TR-808 drum machine and an SH-1 synthesizer. A KORG PolySix was used for strings and additional atmospheric elements. The lead solo was a Casiotone run through an Octaver foot pedal. On the B-side are two solo compositions “Bullet” and “Mount” that Ellard recorded at Terse Tapes in 1982. 

All songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in the original jacket featuring the iconic photograph of a girl with a painted face wrapped in some cloth by Juilee Pryor. Each copy includes a fold-out newsprint poster with a large photo of the band wearing Art Unit skull shirts on one side and liner notes and press clippings on the other. 30 years later Severed Heads are still paving the way for powerful, imaginative, and challenging music.

Richard Baldwin, aka Stakkr, has been writing, producing and remixing music for over a decade, developing a signature cinematic, synthwave style along the way. 

Between 2010 and 2013, he gigged extensively, co-writing, producing and playing keyboards with much lauded 'fop-pop' band 'Kites'.

At the beginning of 2014, Richard began work on a new collaborative project, and released two tracks under the moniker 'Belleville' as the year drew to a close.

An experienced DJ, Richard has also organised a number of regular, intimate club events in London's clubland.

A self-confessed addict of 1970s & 80s synthesizers and drum machines, Richard pulls his influences from early electronica, 80s film-scores, and dance music right up to the present day. Creating music in one way, shape or form, for many years, first using samplers and 16-bit computers in the 1990s, and later employing vintage synthesizers and drum machines, Richard began using softsynths in the early 2000s before returning to classic hardware over the last few years.
