Up until a few years ago (and the release of »The Lost Tapes«) Witchfynde were considered more or less as a classic NWOBHM band but the band actually pre-dated the movement a good four or five years. Bassist Andro Coulton explains in full detail:

"Witchfynde actually started in 1974, with a line up of Montalo on guitars, Gra Scoresby on drums, Richard (Butch Blower) on bass and Neil Harvey on vocals. It was basically a band of school mates plus Montalo. I joined as a roadie/lighting engineer in 1974 and later when Butch had a car crash I took over on bass in early 1975. Steve Bridges then joined on vocals around early summer of 1975. Witchfynde at that time was purely a covers band, but later that summer we began to write our own music of which the first five songs became »The Lost Tapes«, recorded in December 1975. By 1976 Witchfynde had a set comprising of 90% of our own material. We then took what became »The Lost Tapes« down to London on cassette demos and received a totally negative response. We then spent the next three and a half years playing anywhere and everywhere we could in England and Wales."
