The Cult Maniax are a band from Torrington, Devon in the United Kingdom. The name is derived from them being the Cult and their fans being the Maniax. They formed in about 1980 and unofficially called it a day in 1986 although they still perform the odd gig. They enjoyed moderate success with their Full Of Spunk EP topping the indie charts in some of the music papers. They are probably best known for their first single, the Black Horse EP. The Black Horse was, and still is, a public house in Torrington. The lyrics of the title track expressed the band's disatisfaction at the landlord's attitude to the punk generation. The band sold 200 copies of the single before a court case forced them to hand over the master copies and destroy all remaining copies. Some further copies were sold with the offending track scratched out. The original single can often be found on auction sites attracting prices in the region of £50 for a mint copy. In their recording career they released four 7"s, one LP and two 12"s. A CD of one of their epic performances at the Adam And Eves Club in Leeds was issued after they disbanded and this is a good representation of their live sound. The band briefly existed as the Vibe Tribe releasing one 7". Big Al and Mildu went onto form a band called the Sweet Thangs which released a CD single EP. Big Al can still be seen 2006 in a duet called Free Born Men.
