I’ve chosen “The Dirty 13,” because I think it best exemplifies his ability to cram a novella into three minutes. Just him and a guitar — an angrier, wittier Billy Bragg is one way to approximate his style, though that’s far from exact, and he’s a lot more original than that. - WARREN FUCKING ELLIS
"Sam Russo is putting out some of the most fabulous punk folk I’ve heard in a long, long time." - KEATH at ROCKSELLOUT.COM
"What he lacks in finesse he makes up for with a hale and hearty vocal, cracked and rich." - Sonic Dice
"At one point he told everyone to go to work the next day and smack their boss in the face as it’s ‘the best thing you could ever do, I really fucking mean it – do it’. Laughter ensued but this was no joke request – he really did fucking mean it!" - Danny Sambuca, Soic Dice
LAST GANG IN TOWN STRUMMERVILLE BENEFIT & LAST GANG’S 6th BIRTHDAY GIG
THE YALLA YALLAS are a fantastic punk rock ‘n’ roll band from Leeds. Their name was chosen as a rallying call to unify. “So long liberty, lets forget you didn’t show. Not in my time” a sentiment expressed on an early Joe Strummer recording & one which struck a chord with the band and their audience. Some members have appeared in The Dead Pets, 3milehigh & The Gushers & they now share a common goal to bring anthemic mayhem to wherever they play. http://www.myspace.com/theyallayallas
THE TAGNUTS Cambridge “Gimp-Core” ska punkers are back! After almost a year away The Tagnuts are ready to do it again. This is the hometown night of a UK tour that sees them playing across the country.http://www.myspace.com/thetagnuts
