  • Bio

    We are a Grungecore Trash band and no-one knows what that means. We aren't like most bands these days who try and sound like another band, we just play and see what happens so we called it Grungecore Trash. The '-core' suffix is because there's shouting, the 'Trash' part because it's garbage and the 'Grunge' part because grunge was alright. We don't know what we're doing or what we're supposed to do, we just exist, and we have no notion of cool because we haven't invented it yet. We have played all around the south of England and most promoters don't invite us back because they like it so much and are concerned other bands will feel inferior being on the same bill as us. We don't fit on any bill because we are not part of any scene and the audience respects this. They often walk out because they need to find a quiet place to reconsider their lives after the eye-opener of the MK experience. Some people stand in a row in front of walls looking cool, or pose next to trees looking sinister. This is real swell but this is not what we do. Some people even still want to be rock n' roll but rock n' roll died in 1963 when Cliff Richard sold his soul to the devil and released his masterpiece 'Summer Holiday'. Rock n' roll is finished. We do what we want. Teachers in a hundred years will be talking about Mary Kelly along with the works of Marx, Monroe and Major* and they will like it. This is a manifesto. *John Major and his study of interstellar dust

  • Influences

    The things that influence our sound are the fact that we practice in a church and the fact that we hate each other and have to look at each other non-stop for three hours every Tuesday. We aren't influenced by any bands, we just like loud noises like lawnmowers, pneumatic drills and drunk people walking down the road singing at 4 in the morning

  • Sounds Like

    "Citing a Jack the Ripper influence as the driving force behind the lyrics to their songs, they deliver these with enough humour that the overall effect is fast, loud and good fun" -Amy Bangs, Rock Sound "They can comfortably bridge genres and maintain their appeal. These guys always put a lot into their shows" - Neil Duncan, Issue Punkzine "AFI via Refused… dreamily distorted vocals, humpingly heavy riffing, hardcore attitude and a hellova lot of noise… we like.." - The London Particular
