The band experienced many line up changes, and Chris remained the only original member up to the time RDF split up (sometime in the late 1990's). While Chris' lyrics, spoken rather than song,subjects such as the Tienanmen Square protests of 1989 in Chinese Poem, the effect of the police attack on the Travelling convoy at the battle of the beanfield.Personal stuff gets a look in to,he doesn't agree with the normal description of his writing as political. Chris witnessed first hand the Hungerford massacre, describing his experience in the Hungerford Poem and Hot on the Wire. RDF were a regular act on the UK free festival scene prior to the 1994 Criminal Justice Act, and were part of the crusties and anarcho punk movement until they called it day in the mid 1990s. The band reformed in 2006, and played various festivals around the UK during 2007.
At the height of their fame in the early 1990s, the band made at least two tours of Germany. One tour was as the support act to Rebel MC but they also supported Ziggy Marley at one point. RDF appeared at the huge Summerjam festival in July 1993.
In August 2006 Military Surplus/RDF reformed and played at the Endorse it in Dorset festival and haven’t looked back since then, a band with a message..
