The Vulture Squadron originally formed in late 1983 / early 1984, and after initially disbanding in 1986 have intermittently gotten together in various permutations ever since. With members drawn from the Southend / Basildon / North London area, these have included Dave Dastardly, Mr Flo, Sean Arthey, Kev Nixon, Rob Tyler, Pete Amber, Andi Schurer, Steve 76, Gary Higgs, Ian 'Spider, Cubitt, with guests including Gary Lewis and Phil Burdett.
A key release by the band was the VS track 'Dig Your Own' on the 'All night Garage Service' album, where they were described on the sleeve as 'Mushroom Eating Billys from Basildon Rocking Up a Storm'. Leaving the last words to Mr Flo, he described The Vulture Squadron's sound as "A blend of psychobilly (VS Stylee), 60's garage punk and a unique blend of styles honed by years of treading the boards".
