Mark Perry
Mark Perry was a
British fanzine publisher and musician.
Perry was a bank clerk when, inspired by
The Ramones, he founded the
punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue (And Other Rock 'n' Roll Habits) in 1976. Publication ceased in August
1977 when Perry found his energies being absorbed by his new band,
Alternative TV, formed with
Alex Fergusson.
In 1980 he released a solo LP,
Snappy Turns, on the
Deptford Fun City label. This was followed by the "Whole World's Down On Me" 7", a cover of a
Ken Boothe track, and the last release on the Deptford Fun City label. Another 7", "You Cry Your Tears", was released on the NB label in 1980.
Perry went on to perform with
The Good Missionaries,
The Reflection, and
The Door And The Window. In the 1990s he was involved with
Baby Ice Dog.
