Bethnal were a British rock band formed in 1972. In 1978, they released two albums on Vertigo Records: Dangerous Times, produced by Kenny Laguna; and Crash Landing; produced by Jon Astley and Phil Chapman, with special thanks to Pete Townshend. They supported Hawkwind on their 1977 UK tour and, after disbanding, three of the members formed part of the backing band for the 1981 album Hype by former Hawkwind frontman Robert Calvert.
