'Songs of Praise' - split 7inch with HEALTH HAZARD (1997) Flat Earth / Smack in the Mouth
"Blast beats galore are mixed in with pissed off lyrics about how fucked our world is. This EP is a fucking must get." MRR
'The Album' (2000)- LP on MacGuyver , CD on Flat Earth, Tape on Insane Society.
"Sawn Off's sound is akin to ironing your ears to the side of your head. Brutal, mad as fuck vocals, with music that's all over the place, going from heavy sludge-sounding dirges to an all out thrash attack the next song. Killer release from a Killer northern European band." Holeee shit grandad! 26 tracks of deafening brutality lyrically taking on religion, nazis, and other societal poisons. The one band that comes to mind in comparison is Crossed Out, so you should know where this is coming from. The singer sounds like he swallows pushpins to get that voice, and the bass, drums, and geet are tight as hell, pummeling you into aural submission. This LP captures ALL of their previously released songs, plus some unreleased tracks from 1998, so if you missed out the first time, now's the chance to show those neighborhood kids you're still "in the know."ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES Catalogue
'split ep with UNKIND' (2001) Pathetique
As is tradition, bands that split always tend to leave on a high. Sawn Off are no different. This last effort is four songs of supreme crust brutality- just as they have always delivered. Hyperfast punk, the anger is so evident in the music, matched blow by blow by the lyrics." ??
We used to be called "Mumrik" that was looking for a singer and now we finally found a singer and the band name became STM since we are working together at a distance of 6000miles from Leeds, UK to Kyoto, Japan. We have uploaded 3 songs now. Check out how it works.

10 short stories: the fast paced & brutal Harvest careers its way across Europe; while the more thoughtful & reflective The Jad deals with growing up on Tyneside. Feral: clash between modern urban youth & someone who lived their dream. Scorpio: tale of revenge. Mariella: short sequel to Harvest. Kerfuffle: short fast paced story of obsession & love. Bastille Day: humorous tale which strikes a chord with anyone doomed to the penal servitude of the school run! Colin: leaves you guessing to the very last moment. Night Shift: the seedy underbelly of life in a low rent Belgian night club. Deadline: short & brutal.
Micky has spent the last 26 years concentrating on not making any money from playing in a succession of bands such as The Blood Robots, Generic, Anything But That, One By One, Ebola, & Jinn; & thought it was time to add pen to plectrum as weapon of torture.
"Drawing on his years in the gritty DIY punk scene, & dredging up universal memories of bleak, grey childhoods, Micky McGuinness has penned a deliciously grim and nihilistic collection of hard-nosed crime fiction, peopled with the sort of realistically nasty characters we might all have grown up with living next door to us... shining a light into the darkest recesses of the subconcious where REVENGE is king, this is an impressively memorable body of believable work that will stay with you long after the last bloody act of retribution has splattered the final page..." --Ian Glasper author of Burning Britain & The Day The Country Died.
