Biography
There are four bands known as The Creepers:
1). The Creepers were an English rock music group, formed in Manchester, UK in 1982, originally as Marc Riley & The Creepers. Guitarist/keyboardist Riley was booted out of the Fall in 1982, reportedly over an unseemly penchant for pop. His prolific output as a solo artist and bandleader, however, only slightly warrants such categorization. Although Riley shares his former group's taste for deadpan vocals and distorted guitar and keyboard sounds, freed of Mark E. Smith's clutches he exhibits more melodic, structured songwriting and has one foot firmly rooted in the garage punk tradition.

Their song "Baby Wants Brains" was also featured on the compilation albums "Rink Rash and Whiplash" and "Punk Kills 13". They have released one DVD entitled "Total Shithouse DVD".
