Nottingham/Derby Hardcore Thrash Metal act CONCRETE SOX originally started out as a straight Punk band in 1982. The group bowed in as a trio of vocalist / drummer John March, bassist Les Duly and guitarist 'VicTim' (a.k.a. Victor Timoveric). The track 'Eminent Scum' appearing on a COR Records sampler 'Digging In Water' alongside SACRALIGE and HIRAX in 1985. Other recordings that same year resulted in a four track demo and an Earache Records 7" flexivinyl compilation 'Anglican Scrape Attic'.

The 'Your Turn Next' album was released by COR Records in 1986.

John would decamp to join HERESY and CITY INDIANS drummer Andy Sewell and vocalist Sean Cook were enrolled to plug the gap. With this line up CONCRETE SOX shared a split album release with HERESY, being Earache Records very first release.

A heavy touring schedule followed after which the band switched to the Manic Ears label for 1987's 'Whoops, Sorry Vicar'. That year saw HERESY's Kalvin Piper on bass guitar. The band would also feature on the Manic Ears compilation 'The North Atlantic Noise Attack'. The 1989 'Sewarside' album was issued upfront of guitarist VicTim joining Glamsters SLEEZEPATROL.

During 1989 Rick Button was drafted on guitar for European touring billed alongside DOOM. In 1990 Mark Greenwell joined on guitar. The band toured as support to AGNOSTIC FRONT in 1992.

A series of line-up tribulations would dog the band over the next few years. Both Cook and Button made their exit, substitutes being vocalist Lloyd and guitarist Ian. This version of CONCRETE SOX released the American released 'Lunched Out' live 7" vinyl single.

The group signed to Lost And Found for the 1993 'No World Order' album. CONCRETE SOX, complete with a returning Sean Cook, then undertook a tour of Japan and issued a split EP in alliance with NIGHTMARE.

After a ten year term Andy Sewell decided to vacate the drum stool. CONCRETE SOX ultimately folded. There would be a reformation comprising of Les, Lloyd, Mark Greenwell and drummer Pug for a burst of UK dates but once again the band split.

The band would be back for a series of UK shows in the summer of 1998. Swedish shows followed into 1999 with a CONCRETE SOX roster made up of Sean Cook, Mark Greenwell, new bass player Rick Lamell and drummer Andy Sewell.

An EP, simply titled 'The New EP', arrived on the Data label in 1999, the cover artwork being a clever 'South Park' spoof announcing "Oh my God- They killed Anarkenny!" CONCRETE SOX were still announced as being active in 2009.
