GRUNDINGA

  

A DIY label from the Punk era, Grundinga was owned by the Steroid Kiddies, who hailed from Manchester.  Its only release seems to have been that group's, 'The Kiddies' EP (SK-001; 1979).  Robert Bowes, who kindly supplied the scans, says that 'Grundinga' is an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning 'from the ground up', 'totally'; which sounds a bit posh for a Punk label.  He adds that he believes that the bird was called the 'Frugal Bird', but he can't recall what its origins are.
