Jonn Penney, born September 17th, 1968 from Quarry Bank, near Stourbridge, England

After the break up he soon got back to writing, got a haircut and formed the band Groundswell (originally with Rat), who were signed to GIG Records. They released the single "Corrode" and had plans for their first album "Pole Position". Unfortunately they split in November '99, with Jonn looking to more academic pursuits. GIG released "Plausible Infeasible" which contains the demo's which would have made up the album plus a few live tracks. He went on to receive a degree in multi-media communications at Wolverhampton University, and currently runs the musical publishing company Surge Music.

Garath "Rat" Pring, born November 8th, 1970 from Sedgley, near Stourbridge, England

Rat became a member of Groundswell with Jonn, however when news they had signed with Gig Records came out, it was announced Rat would be leaving (the reason for this was never divulged publicly). He worked on "You Think" "Second Head" and "Faker" but agreed to sign the work over to the rest of the band to allow them to continue. He worked for a travel company for a while and is apparently working as a systems analyst these days. Rat was not part of the re-formed line up (with former Groundswell member Martin taking up his mantle), but has now rejoined.

Alex Griffin, born August 29th, 1971 from Kingswinford, near Stourbridge, England

After the band's split, Alex obtained a degree in music from Birmingham University, and is currently a music lecturer at Kingston College. Musically, he formed a project called "Tickle" at one point , which was apparently signed to GIG (same label as Groundswell) but only demos were made.

Matthew Cheslin, born November 28, 1970 from Quarry Bank, near Stourbridge, England

Mat reportedly worked in the AA (british breakdown service) for a little while, and like many of the other Ned's went to University, receiving a degree in English from Birmingham University (click here to see a press release about his achievements), and is now in the civil service. Mat also chose not to partake in the reunion (with Andy taking up second bass duties in his stead), but along with Rat has now rejoined the band.

Dan Worton, born July 28, 1972 from Sedgley, near Stourbridge, England

After the split, Dan continued to play with a few different bands. He became a member of the band Floyd with Floyd Brennan, the guitarist who substituted for Rat (due to a broken arm) at one point during Ned's final tour and did a little gigging in England, but left due to family commitments. He also formed Bring Out The Freaks with now-wife Kerry, and afterwards BouncingBomb, though i've not heard of him being currently active outside of Ned's. Dan currently teaches through Dan Worton's Music Rooms.

Andy King, from Codsall, England

Originally recruiting himself to Groundswell after overhearing Jonn's plans in Wolverhampton's Varsity Club, Andy swapped his lead guitar for the bass to take up Mat's role in the 'reunion' lineup of Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Martin Warlow, from Cannock, England

Martin took up Rat's spot on guitar for the reunions, providing a unique and yet faithful-to-the-originals-none-the-less take to many of the songs.

Both Martin and Andy can be currently found fronting their own band, NowAssassin
