Member Since7/23/2006
Band Websiteaddictivephilosophy.biz
Band MembersGeZ Addictive - vocals, lead guitar
AnnA Addictive - trumpet
PiP Happy Feet - vocals, rhythm guitar
KeV Bass Fiend - bass guitar, vocals
DaN electro - drums
InfluencesMany influences, not necessarily who we sound like - Nirvana Sex Pistols Madness Lawnmower Deth Motorhead Red Hot Chili Peppers Jimi Hendrix AC/DC Iron Maiden Smiths and general Punk/Thrash/Ska/Indie types
Sounds LikeWell, we've been told we sound like a Jam/Rancid hybrid which is good, and recently we were told we sound like a Madness/Clash hybrid so also good. We generally have 3 distinct sounds to our songs which are either Punk, Ska, or Thrash - sometimes they blend in one song, sometimes they're kept seperate. The best likeness is probably Rancid for our Ska stuff, anything from 77 (Pistols, Clash, Jam) for our Punk stuff, and Discharge/Crass for our Thrash stuff.

Surface Unsigned Regional Semi-Final

Sunday 20th July

BARFLY, BIRMINGHAM

***DOORS OPEN AT HALF 4, AND WE'RE ON PRETTY MUCH IMMEDIATELY***

IF YOU WANT A LIFT WE'RE LEAVING THE MUSIC SHED AT 1pm



Phew!! Surface Unsigned is hotting up now. We're through to the Regional Semi-Finals and only 1 band goes through this time. It looks like we're the only Derby band left so get on and support us and help us go all the way. Here's how you can help;

- Buy tickets and come and see us

and/or

- Text SURFACE 651 to 83149 (see poster for terms and conditions)

If you buy tickets you get;

- Entry to see us and a buch of other quality bands (they got this far, gotta be good!)
- Free CD's or T-Shirts off us (as a bribe)
- A lift to and/or from the gig (if you want or need it)
- The chance to actually vote and really help put us through (we seriously need your help)

Here's why you should do it;

- We're the only Derby band left out of over 1000 bands across the country
- We're getting good reviews - we could actually win this, but only with YOUR votes
- It's on a Sunday and it's not a late night, plenty time to get there and back
- You'd be helping us towards getting endorsements and big ass gigs
- You get to see us (and some other awesome bands) play at BARFLY

What else is there to say?? Click the Surface banner to check the site if you ain't already (go find the reviews from the earlier rounds), or just go and click the BUY NOW button to buy the tickets!! Don't forget to tell us if you need a lift - we'll be setting off from Music Shed at 1pm. And give us your address to post your tickets and bribes to!!


Anything else you wanna know, just ask...

PLEASE HELP YOURSELF TO A NICE FLASHY BANNER - COPY THE TEXT FROM THE BOX AND PASTE IT INTO YOUR PROFILE - VOILA!!


GO TO THE PLAYER AND LISTEN - THERE'S 5 MASTERED TUNES FROM THE FORTHCOMING ALBUM AS WELL AS ONE FROM THE FIRST ALBUM AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD SUPERNATURAL RACE FIEND AND STRENGTH FOR FREE!!


This is us playing our skank along Burning Heart - for more videos, click here

If you want to book us, please read this

The main direction of the band is Ska, but with a healthy dose of Punk and the occasional injection of Thrash - the lyrics range from everyday life to politics, to comedy. There's even a ballad. Only one. There's a rumour going round that we do covers and are available to do these for functions, weddings, bar mitzvah's etc. This is true - the covers range from 50's Rock 'n Roll to simple 90's Rock, with a heavy dose of ska/reggae thrown in. Think;

Eddie Cochran
Del Shannon
Rancid
Madness
Clash
The Jam
Sex Pistols
Buzzcocks
Beatles
Nirvana
Crass
Specials
Bad Manners
Cranberries

And so on...

We play anywhere, we're not afraid to travel, we've been up and down the country and have played alongside Buzzcocks, Dr and the Medics, Stranglers, Highliners etc - Scooter Rallies are a particular fave and we can be easily bribed to play cheap at them, just ask Sticky Rock, Can't Start Won't Start, Yorkshire Scooter Alliance, Huddersfield Scooter Club, Odd Mod Squad for a start.

This is our finest hour...

So that's us - we're a straight forward band, we turn up, we play loud and fast, we're not complicated, and we're cheap!! Probably the cheapest Scooterist band in the world...

We rehearse and record at this place because it's ace, and erm, oh yeah, we own it...!!

Check these guys out for some decent gig promotions and tell them to book us lots!!

Really? You thought that was organised?? I hated it that there was nothing for me to do, normally we have to set up all our own lighting and sound, so i just kept walking around aimlessly!

Yeah i thought you were awesome. We might have a few dates late auguts and september!

"CLB has songs with interesting lyrics that are sometimes deeper and more introspective than your usual jokey ska songs (though they [have] those too). I think that's important; ska needs to have more heart and more intelligence, not just be all silliness." –Aaron Barrett of Reel Big Fish and producer of Chase Long Beach's debut full-length album, "LeBeC."
