The band's first release was the "Aural Butchery" demo in 1987, and like other early releases such as the 42 track "Death to Capitalist Hardcore" EP (1988) and the "Noise Annoys" demo (1988) consisted largely of raw, sub-one minute blast of grindcore noise; "Death to Capitalist Hardcore" was later ranked number 14 in "Terrorizer Magazine"'s list of essential European grindcore albums. A line-up change resulted in Paul "Hammy" Halmshaw taking over on drums and after signing to the Manic Ears label in 1988, Sore Throat released their debut album, "Unhindered by Talent", which continued the trend, albeit with a number of more traditional, Discharge-style numbers. Their second album, "Disgrace to the Corpse of Sid" on Earache, showed even more diversity, incorporating distortion, blast beats, screams and grunts, and sound samples. However, whilst the A side of the album consisted of the band's patented noisecore, the B side contained more doom-inspired crust punk, along the lines of Amebix. The band also released the "Inde$troy" album in 1988 under the moniker Saw Throat.
