Our own take on the punk music that we love, the louder, the faster the more honest the better...
LATEST JULY 09: Dan and Chris have now left with Chris going into dun2def. Our new guitarist is now Ruby who has punk blood (and larger) running through her veins and totally hardcore so its back to rehearsing. We've rewritten the songs we had and have got some new ones to boot. They're louder and faster and that's the direction we want to go in. We still need a bassist so if any one is interested get in touch cheers.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
After a break of 20 odd years we thought it was about time to make a racket all over again.
Bit of a problem when you got to learn to play the three chords again tho.
Sid (vocals) and Chris (guitar) have been around the Punk scene since the late 70's
Dan (Bass) and Colin (Drums) wipe our chins and take us out for walks when matron says its ok.
We've just cut our first demo 'Cryo-Genics' Unfrozen and are venturing out on the road in when ever we can so if ur at a loose end come and check us out. Few new songs in the pipeline as of Oct 08 so hope to preview a few of them live
