==History== ===Moral Fibre=== The roots of Atomkraft date to mid-1978, when Tony "Demolition" Dolan and Paul Spillett got together with the intention to form a band. Initially using the name of Moral Fibre and playing punk rock, they recruited guitarists Ian Legg and Chris Taylor. Ian Legg then left and was replaced by Sean Drew who also subsequently left. However, the band continued to operate as a trio.
