Show Without Punch
Two parts British and one part Brazilian, Show Without Punch plough a rich furrow of Tom Waitsian song writing, Elliott Smithian melancholy, and Springsteenian hummability. They have been plying their trade on the London music scene for the last four years, selling their own bootlegs, and are now poised on the brink of a first official release.
Show Without Punch are part of Lost Toys Records, a loose collective of artists and musicians with a shared outlook. See our friends for other member artists.
Nice things people have said about Show Without Punch:
“Electric… These guys are original.” - Sojournpussy
“Oho! Show Without Punch, well done chaps - here’s a band that’s deliberately trying to keep my attention.” - Music Review
“I should quote some lyrics here from the marvelous ‘For Your Troubles’ or ‘Come On Home’ but I’m not going to, that would be doing the work for you, you lazy bugger.” Magic Bullet
“An uncanny sense of timelessness: it sounds like it could have been written at any point in the past 50 years, without seeming in any way hackneyed, an incredible trick to pull off.” - Painted Weirdos
“It’s grizzled, it’s got swearing; but it’s as pretty as a puppy.” - Make Noise
Hey! Sorry for the late response! Thankyou very much :) I will hopefully be recording some more recent material soon, so i will definitely let you know when that's up. I'm not sure if I will be up in London in the summer, but I am going to Westminster uni in October so will definitely be up there then and would love to do some gig swaps!
I will be there on the 26th Sept! No doubt about it. I actually asked perfect 5th if i could support you guys, but they said it's already been arranged :( real shame.
Hey Roger, Tis me, yes singing the first thing that comes out, it could be alter-new or just silly and naive, Thanks for your comment, likewise, enjoying your new recordings, spoke to Andy, he said you guys were all doing well which is great, definitely coming to 26th May so I hope we finally meet in person. If you want a gig at the concrete bar at the hayward gallery let me know, Johnny parry et al are playing with us Aug 5th, want to play too?
