We formed back in 1990 with a bunch of covers & a lot of Cider,by the time we'd played our first few gigs we got to record a couple of tracks for a comp lp "Punks not Dread".The next few years saw the usual line up changes,a few demo tapes & a split ep with all girl band PMT.
We had reached the settled line up of today(see band members) by 1996,when we put out a split ep with SPECIAL DUTIES & did our first dates outside of the UK in France & Belgium.
Our debut album "A short cut to a better world" & several more ep's followed & small tours of Europe became a regular thing that we continue to do.
Over the years we've played with loads of great bands old & new in anything from sweaty pub backrooms to big festival stages,met stacks of lovely people & had a whale of a time along the way.
We recently released the album "Stop the World" on Captain Oi! records in the uk & are hoping it will see a U.S. release soon. FLY THE FLAG !!!
COME AND JOIN US AT THE SPA PAVILION FELIXSTOWE FOR THE SOUNDWAVES "ULTIMATE BANDS CONTEST '09"!! WE STILL HAVE SOME PLACES AVAILABLE FOR BANDS TO ENTRY TOO!!

With sharply observed lyrics and a barrage of guitars, ICH's punk anthems will have you punching the air and shouting along 'til the cider runs out. www.myspace.com/ichcolchesterpunx

"These Spanish lads combine a solid street punk sound with peppy '77 tunes. Think Toy Dolls and Rezillos meets Cock Sparrer. Yes indeed, that's really 12 hot shots!" Bandworm -Germany-
"Street rock’n’roll for punks, skins and hooligans. If you like Cock Sparrer, Cockney Rejects, Major Accident in a mix with some Ramones, then VonDänikens is the band for you. An album you shouldn’t miss!" Mpty zine -Romania-
"Tuneful, melodic rock 'n' roll streetpunk with lots of gang vocals on the choruses, and plenty of "whooa whooa"s going on. This is their 12 track album, and it's a cracker!" You can't Say No to Hope zine -UK-
"It is very efficient, good choruses, good melodies, good album, I like it!" Carry No Banners zine -France-
