The Clash, The Pogues, Billy Bragg, The Levellers, Nirvana, The Cramps, Fairport Convention, Tom Waits, The Who - but most of all ourselves, our eyes and ears and the headlines!
Sounds Like
...we really enjoy what we're doing and we mean it!
So Robbie the drummer was in the loo during half-time at one of our gigs. He overhears a conversation between two guys...
"I love the band - but what are they?"
"They're a folk band, bit raucous like."
"No, they're more like a punk band"
"I dunno - folk punk band then..."
And fiddle punk was born!
We're Eat the Rich. We're loud, we're raucous, we're unashamed of taking the best bits from all sorts of music. We write our own songs, we mug traditional songs in a dark alleyway, we even do some of other people's songs and add a twist or two.
And we're proud to come from Devon with all its good and bad. We don't like The Man. We do like booze, fags and great music. Hell, what's not to like?
But above all it's all about the passion. Feel it, live it - so come and see it!
Subvert & Survive
Coombeshead Studios are now looking to take on summer 2008 recording slots. If you are in a band and need a professional recording, we offer sessions at just £12.50 an hour on weekdays and £20 an hour on evenings (after 6pm) and weekends. All this paid time can be spent recording - mixing and editing can be done afterwards at no extra charge. If you wish to arrange a session, please message us and we will give you a list of available dates. Check out our top friends for examples of the recording quality, and the ’music’ section to see who we have worked with!
We also offer CD duplication at between 75p and £1.50 per CD for most requirements. This gets you a case, a print directly onto the CD face (no stickers!) and inlays. Contact us with your requirements for a quote. Recordings do not have to be made at Coombeshead to qualify for this offer - if you already have recordings let us know and we can provide duplication for you!
You ROCK, Eat the Rich! Fabulous energy, music, AND lyrics. I have added one of your songs to my profile, and hope to get to see you live on a few occasions this year. Enthusiastically, Lucy ;)
