This American band were formed in Cerritos, California in 1980 by school friends Magrann and Gardener. They has already released the self-titled "CH3 EP" before their No Future releases were licenced from the U.S. label, Posh Boy Records - the album "I've Got A Gun" was basically a repackaged version of "Fear Of Life". They continued recording steadily throughout the early eighties (even experimenting with a 5-man line up), but only a brief European tour in 1994 reminded their fans that the band were still around. However, with the core members of Magrann and Gardener, Channel 3 returned to a four-piece band and released a powerful self titled LP in 2002.
