First Offence are a 3 piece blues/rock band; Jack Hammer - drums, Rob Hall - bass and vocals and Bumpy Rhoades - guitar. The Band was formed in 1984 releasing 3 albums and enjoyed numerous national radio plays including 2 half hour sessions on the famous Tommy Vance Friday Rock Show.
Although probably not enjoying the success others of the same era achieved, they remained undaunted and have continued to tour ever since and have now performed over 2000 gigs.
First Offence now perform classics by such artistes as Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter, Cream, ZZ Top, Bad Company etc, all played First Offence style, sprinkled with a couple of tracks off their own albums.
2009 has been dubbed the 25 year anniversary tour and will take in more than 100 venues around the UK.

"I've never heard Crazy Horses played like that before! Awesome"
"Bumpy Rhoades plays moody guitar with bludgeoning riffs and soaring solos"
"Rob Hall attacked his bass guitar with relish and had the crowd singing like it was Wembley Stadium"
"Jack Hammer is a mixture of power and finesse drumming up a storm in a hail of sweat"
Hi Jack and boys hope you have a great gig tonight. I'm certainly looking forward to mine. I've got my son and a load of his friends coming along so it should be fun. Love and best wishes to you all xxx
