Short History, Discography & Links
The first rumblings of THE DENTISTS were heard early 1984, in the Medway Towns, a grim Northern industrial area, 30 miles south of London. During that year, the band scaled the local scene, and released a first single in early '85 described at the time as "A masterpiece of Jangle Pop".
