UK Number 40s: Theatre Of Hate - Do You Believe In The Westworld (1982)

 


The first number 40 of 1982 was the only Top 40 hit for Theatre Of Hate. Their previous singles had failed to reach the Top 40 but were successful on the Indie Chart. This single was the only single from their only album prior to their first breakup which was called "Westworld" and it topped the Indie Charts.

The main man behind Theatre Of Hate was Kirk Brandon who had previous been in a punk band called The Pack. After Theatre Of Hate broke up in 1983 he went on to form Spear Of Destiny, the band he is best known for. 

The band have since reunited and released their last single to date in 2015 and last album to date in 2016.
