Jane From Occupied Europe (band)

Jane From Occuped Europe were a band that originated from Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. Band members had appeared previously in other local bands, most notably Bubblegum Splash [Subway Records] and a popular Wiltshire band, Mrs Taylor's Mad. They were part of what was an interesting scene of music that stemmed from the area around the mid to late 80's, including bands like The Badgeman (Paperhouse Records), The Mayfields, and Mad Cow Disease.

Whilst their sound has been bracketed under the 'Shoegazing' mantle, their sound was based around a broad number of styles and influences including psychadaelia, punk, and garage.

The band toured around England, supporting bands like Carter USM, Catherine Wheel, Mock Turtles, and the Seeds amongst numerous others.
