SY PINKEYE - This baby-faced guitar wielding whirlwind is the frontman, guitarist, lead vocalist and mastermind behind The Longshots. 5' 8'' of adrenaline overdosed attitude that could easily be the bastard child of any 70's Punk Icon. Energetic, enthralling and fueled on alcohol alone, he not so much plays his guitar but wrestles it into submission while furiously spinning, spitting, gurning and grinning his way through each and every show.
DEANY DEAN - They say that he was cloned in a laboratory using advanced gene-splicing techniques. That scientists tried to create the perfect percussionist. Half drummer, half genius, a miracle of genetics that would be made possible using D.N.A from Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Animal from the Muppets. Although the experiment failed something else was created. An Abomination, A Jekyll and Hyde, a Rock & Roll Frankenstein that by day works in a top secret lab, but by night plays the drums, drinks and drools.
PRESS:
'A sheer energy rush of pure punk with the sort of lightning fast none-more-rock riffs you'd more likely associate with AC/DC...'
Leeds Music Scene
'Original energized rock 'n' roll songs that will bring out the sweat and have you gulping your beer so fast you'll choke'
Rock 3 Radio
'A mix of rock 'n' roll and punk which reminds, in equal parts, of The Clash, Goldblade and The Backyard Babies that fires on all cylinders... you can't go wrong!'
Punk & Oi in the UK
'Rock 'n' roll in the old style, pure, unadulterated, adrenaline soaked, unrestrained, machismo, shouting, riffing, pounding, monster sized sense of the phrase. Fast and loud, played with passion, dirty, sweaty and raucous'
Vibrations Magazine
'Sounds like Angus Young single-handedly beating the shit out of the Arctic Monkeys with his own guitar'
