Sounds Like
Gigwise - "All in all, truly triumphant stuff, gigwise wouldn't want to sound a first rate arse-licker - but we've got our tongue too far up asbos bum to defend ourselves right now"
Stool Pigeon - "From the talking heads and pixies school of weird, but they have a unique edge which digs into our heels and toes the longer we remain"
Another Late Night - "Deliciously macabre, this is a band that needs to be
heard"
The Fly- "We warm to their slow and gutsy funkola and lines of crooked monotype from a wobbly-eyed front man. At high points the bassy tension routes us deep into their weird world and everything goes a funny shape".
Semi Colon Cancer - "A truly special band that manage to convey a brooding power and self assurence without so much as Clicking on a distortion pedal"
Platform Radio - "Nervy paranoid tales of modern vaudeville"
Northern Noise - "Their songs have character and a definite sound, combining stark parts that sit neatly on top of each other, with catchy bass lines to produce the simplest of musical layouts"
Hush Hush Magazine - "ASbos never once sound like they are merely exercising a style, instead inhabiting and coercing thier sound with an understated yet sure, touch"
Salvo Magazine - "Living up to their name and laying claim to one of merseysides most unique rock sounds, these boyos draw influence from a whole host of outsiders"
ASbos are a five piece band alternative pop group who write alternative pop songs about depression, fuel strikes, paranoia, dysfunctional families, dysfunctional supervisors, serial killers and tales of a dark nature.
Since forming ASbos have recorded distributed a series of self made, self produced cd's that they have distributed around Liverpool as well as Manchester, Chester and Wrexham, they regularly host their own gig nights and have just finished their debut video which is for a video for the forth coming single 'Thats not mum'.
Asbos have also gigged extensively in the northwest as well as taking their putrid din to more southerly places like London and the south east.
ASbos enjoy travelling to new places and playing intresting gigs, as long as petrol costs are covered and maybe some free food thrown in.
For bookings and enquries contact asbos through the myspace or email asbos_@hotmail.co.uk
