Alex Fergusson returns

Interviewed in Ripped & Torn issue 2, Alex Fergusson was then in a band called The Nobodies. After the issue was published Alex moved to London and helped out with ideas for Ripped & Torn (I had also moved down to London) and formed Alternative TV with Mark Perry. Initially Throbbing Gristles Genesis P Orrige was their drummer. After Alternative TV, Alex joined up again with Genesis for the new project Psychic TV.

In February 2026 Alex Fergusson released a new album called Demons. It is a 10″ record on white vinyl with a limited first pressing of 300 copies. The record is available to buy from Rough Trade or Sister Ray’s online shops. This is one of the tracks from the album.
