Chron Gen were a British punk band.
Chron Gen were formed in January 1978 in Hitchin, Herts. Ex members of The Condemned and Optional Xtras fused into Chron Gen. The members were Glynn (Baxter) Barber (Vocals/guitarist), Jon JJ Johnson (Drummer) Jon Thurlow (Rhythm guitar) and Pete Dimmock (Bassist). The band released their debut EP "Puppets of War" (also had singles versions of Lies, Chronic Generation, and Mindless Few)
With the Success of the EP led to an invitation to join The Exploited, Discharge, Anti-Pasti, and The Anti-Nowhere League to go to the now infamous Apocalypse tour that rampaged through the UK in the summer of '81. On a sadder note, Floyd (one of the later members of the group) died October 31, 1999.
Pete Dimmock sadly died on the 12th August 2011.
