History
A early version of the band were formed by childhood friends Chris Shaw and Greg Pedder with his schoolboy brother Phill Pedder , all of the members of the band are former pupils of Stantonbury Campus near to Bradville in Milton Keynes where they grew up.
Having recorded several demos the group dissolved and Greg Pedder went onto join the band Solis before leaving to study at Thames Valley University in London and later Glasgow Caledonian University In Scotland. Bassist Shaw would play in several bands and would later co-found the record label Square Peg Round Hole Records and later Eightk72 Records.
In 2007 the band formed as Rotten Ped (the name taken from a nickname given to singer Phill) and in 2008 would record their debut album The Heavenly Sound Of Smut in just 3 days. Although the band had no intentions of releasing it they gave songs away for free on their myspace site. The album would be largely known for Phill Pedders excessive use of language and lambasting celebrity culture , Pedder would also hit on subjects such a [...] use and teenage pregnancy. The album would be released digitally on the Feed That Baby Records label in April 2009 with the extra track “[...] Favours (200 Quid)" ,a remix of the albums opener “[...] Favours“ , both songs in 2010 would appear on the controversial movie Killer [...] Starring Alex Reid and notorious former gangster Dave Courtney.
Rejecting offers of support slots , the band opted to work on their follow up album, Greg Pedder would also remix songs for several artists on the Feed That Baby Record label.
The bands 2nd album Fun With Explosives was released on the 26th of July 2010 , and would produce the singles "Destroy All Chavs" and "Flamingos" and would feature on the itunes 'New And Noteworthy' list, the album would have a more toned down vocal from Pedder from its predecessor with a more 'radio friendly' sound , and is quoted by the band on their official website as the first proper Rotten Ped album.
