Ed worked as a roadie for fellow Mancunians Slaughter & the Dogs, when supporting the Sex Pistols & Buzzcocks at the legendary Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall show on 20th July 1976.  Following this Ed formed The Nosebleeds and became a fixture in the 1977 punk scene with Ain’t Been To No Music School becoming a schoolboy anthem around Manchester in 1977. Ed Banger left The Nosebleeds in 1979, and joined Slaughter & The Dogs, after original singer Wayne Barrett had left the band on the eve of a 1979 UK tour. Bite Back was released in 1980 under the abbreviated name Slaughter, the band then embarked on a sold out nationwide tour of the UK. The original Bite Back era came to an end in 1981.
