KEYSIDE STRIKE 2009 -l/r- Big Neil Mortal, J Belts'um, Stoney Strike & Just JOE D'BASS!
Influences
Old school NYHC - Agnostic Front / Warzone / Murphy's Law / Cro-Mags / Cause For Alarm. Plus a chunk of Street punk & Oi, a dash of psychobilly (it's there trust me!), some O.C.H.C. and a bit of old school Boston H.C. and some good old rock & roll thrown on the top!
Sounds Like
FOOT STOMPING, SCISSOR KICKING, BACK TO BASICS REAL HARDCORE! THE WAY IT IS AND THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!
Plus despite all the best advice in the world there's a chunk of Psycho' rock n roll guitar riffin' in there! Just coz we can!!!!
We're a 4 piece Hardcore band from Darlington featuring ex members of Lowlife UK and HANGMEN and others. (Well with a collective history going back over 20 years a few bands have come and gone!)
The 'Strike Force is ;
Stoney Strike - Shoutin & crunch.
BIG NEIL MORTAL - Crunch & shoutin'!
Just JOE D'Bass-Git - Rumblin' & shoutin'!
J' Belts'um - Bangin' & crashin'!
Formed in December 2003 as a 3 piece and later adding a second guitar player. Beefin' the grunt levels of the sound we make! We've gone through the usual bout line up changes, but fingers crossed that's all done with now!
First gig was January 2004, since then we have played all over the North of England with bands such as Murphy's Law, The BUSINESS,Bleed 13, Mingers, Assert, GANG GREEN, The Nothing, D-Rail, Tear Jerk, Maypole, Flickknives & Splinters, Lowlife UK, Dying Breath, Another Breath, 5 Knuckle, An American Obsession, Instant Agony, The Fiend, Battle Royale, Loudmouth, Fude, Buzzkill, Marked for Death, Break it up, No Turning Back, Internal Affairs, Wage of Sin, DEMOB, Sick On The Bus, Bring me the Horizon, 3CR, 4 Past Midnight, Dead Pets, Demon 340, Today We Fight, Boobie Trap, Dogbite, Sick 56 and Stuntface, The Hangmen, (THE ALMIGHTY) GIMPFIST!.
Our aim is to set the record straight by playin' some genuine hardcore punk. We don't peddle out tired old metal riffs tuned in dropped D'! It's called HARDCORE that's what we do, it's the sound we make!
We released our first cd, ".... Grin And Bear It...." in '05 on Hobson's Choice Records. Featuring 10 trax of our finest material. It's sold pretty well at gigs up n down the North East. Now at long last we are ready to unleash the next chapter of our aural manifesto! December '06 saw the unveiling of our latest installment in aural battery!
"Hit Me Again..." was recorded at Darlington's finest recording establishment again, and is a marked improvment both in production and song writing. Not that there was much wrong before, but we're even better now! Hobson's Choice are again the proud vendours of our endevours. There's 11 trax on this beauty! Get ready for it.... Prepare for the pit! (A big thank you to Pit Yakka Lowes for the live photo, sorry the credit isn't on the cover! Rush job n all that!).
The title track will also be on the "Tribute To Jason Blood" cd/dvd on Hairball 8/U.S. Psychobilly Records in late spring '07. It's a different version of the song specially re-recorded for the comp. The "Demon's Blood" mix is our tribute to our psy-core bro's from Tuscon. Buy it when it hits the racks! All profits from it go to Jason's widow Ruby. There's us, Demon City Wreckers (a course!), Left For Dead (the continuation of D.C.W.'s heritage!), Koffin Kats, plus more wreckers and ruckers from the underbelly of Psy-core and a DVD of D.C.W. at their finest ass kickin best!
See you in the pit!
Flyers for the coming weeks...
Sorry folks but due to PROMOTER cock ups on the Fjords WRECKING DEAD have had to cancel their iminent PILAGE plans......... We'll re-arrange a.s.a.p.
Special mention for Jason Blood of Tuscon Arizona's greatest Psy-Core band of reprobates, THE DEMON CITY WRECKERS! Keyside Strike's Psy-core brothers.
