Biography

Jeff Wilmott (drums and piano), Pete Moore (bass), Andrew Gray (guitar and keyboards), and David Steiner (vocals and keyboards) formed the bleak post-punk of In Camera. A single and EP (Die Laughing and IV Songs) were both released in 1980 on 4AD, characterized in the press as second-rate Joy Division cloning. Not too far from the truth, but slightly misleading. Fin, an EP of the band's lone session for John Peel, was released a year after their early 1981 breakup. Ten years later, the quartet re-grouped to record a batch of new material, which appeared on the Teen Beat/4AD compilation 13 (Lucky for Some). The release also included the entirety of their previous releases. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

"In Camera" were a London based post-punk band who emerged in the summer of 1978. The seeds were sown when youthful drummer Jeff Wilmott introduced aspiring bass player Pete Moore to singer David Steiner; through this nucleus the addition of guitarist Andrew Gray became possible. An incendiary performance at 'Billy's' in Soho, London resulted in a contract with 4AD Records. In Camera first released the 45 RPM 7" 'Die Laughing/Final Achievement' in 1979, followed six months later by the 4 track 12" 'IV Songs'. Various gigs materialised throughout England, culminating at the end of 1980 in a John Peel session. This resulted in the release of the session on 12" under the title 'Fin', the recording being the final vinyl document of the band before its non-acrimonious split in 1981. A retrospective, '13 (Lucky For Some)' was released in 1992 on CD. The rest is history.

All releases were on the 4AD label.
