Our main influences are bands like Rancid,The clash,The casualties etc.
but our true influences are not the punk bands but the true punks themsevles we feel that street punk is not just a background for image but also a way of life and a release for those who feel constantly tied down by the increasing pressure of todays society.
Sounds Like
Sounds like dirty raw punk the way it should sound
You fucking fuckers! Im snapped back into reality fiercely, attention focused solely on the front man of the next band Listed whose favourite word tonight seems apparent. You fucking pussies! Thats not a proper reaction! Im fucking singing up here! Treating the audience mean really does seem to keep them keen as bodies fly into the air, jumping, twisting, fighting and roughing it. Even Listeds performance is rough around the edges but it all adds to the charm. Theyre like the Towers of London but rougher, more real, in an authentic Like it or fuck off kind of way. Their vocals are football chants with loads of insults and a harsh energy.
Allright, were on tour with ich and the dead batteries if you could make it down to one of the gigs it would be great. hopefully c'ya up the front Ian TT
