Mustard City Rockers formed in Norwich, April 2006, when a group of local punk rockers (including members from bands such as Judder and the Jack Rabbits, The Black Veins, Visual Offence and Project Mork) decided to expand their musical abilities by using traditional folk instruments to play energetic punk influenced music. They show huge diversity in lyrical subject matter ranging from light hearted sing-a-long tunes about their native Norfolk to edgier political songs.
