In 1979, Martin started a xeroxed fanzine called Alternative Sounds to document the Coventry music scene (including such notables as The Specials and Furious Apples ). The fanzine ran for 18 issues until 1981, and culminated in a vinyl compilation, “Sent from Coventry” (on Cherry Red Records ) and a brief appearance on the BBC’s Something Else programme. During this time, Martin met Julia at a local gig and Attrition was formed; the initial line-up included Martin’s brother Chris on guitar, who left in 1981 to join the army, and Julia’s brother Ashley Niblock (who would become another mainstay) on synthesizer.

Two early home recordings, “Fear” and “Devoid”, were issued in 1982 as a flex-disc given away with the Adventures in Reality fanzine run by Alan Rider (later of Stress and Dance Naked ), who would provide the band’s visuals for live shows. Also in 1982, Gary Levermore included an Attrition track (“The Visitor”) on the first volume of his Rising from the Red Sands series of compilation tapes, beginning a long running association with Gary and his Third Mind label (formerly Tone Death ).

In 1983, Attrition received their first exposure in the national music press through a review by Dave Henderson in his “Wild Planet” column in Sounds , which led to their “Dreamsleep” track appearing on Henderson’s compilation The Elephant Table Album , the band’s first vinyl appearance. A postal collaboration with Seattle-based improvisational collective Audio Leter led to the Action and Reaction cassette release for Adventures in Reality . Attrition’s first London concert followed, with a supporting slot from Coil , and the first European tour in april 1984 with the Legendary Pink Dots.
