S.C.U.M are a South East London based post-punk/art rock group. Its members are Thomas Cohen (vocals), Bradley Baker (machines), Samuel Kilcoyne (keyboards), Huw Webb (bass) and Melissa Rigby (drums). The band previously included Ruaridh Connellan (drums) and Joseph Williams (bass). S.C.U.M take their name from Valerie Solanas' misandrous screed, SCUM Manifesto, an ironic reference to the all-male nature of the band prior to Connellan's dismissal.
