Upon his passing in January 2018, Mark E Smith had been performing with the most stable and consistent line-up of The Fall for more than a decade in the form of Dave Spurr (bass), Kieron Melling (drums) and Pete Greenway (guitar). Smith told the band to continue after his death as he rated them as his best line up.

Formed in 2018 Dave Spurr, Keiron Melling and Pete Greenway joined forces with singer and guitarist Sam Curran to forge a unique sound infusing garage punk, krautrock, rockabilly, post punk and more. The debut album Gastwerk Saboteurs was released in May 2019 and was positively received as were the singles No Mans Land and Art Of Projection
