About Sign Language

Sign Language formed in 1981 in Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. Initially influenced by the spirit of the first wave of British Punk Bands, Sign Language developed a more new wave/post punk sound akin to their peers at the time, Joy Division,Killing Joke and early U2(Boy LP). After honing down their set of songs, Sign Language gained a strong reputation as an energetic live act, which lead to a gig review and interview in "Punk Lives" Magazine, as well as numerous fanzines.
