Hello and welcome to the Threats myspace page, been around on and off since 79, we do this for FUN and can't be bothered with bullshit, backstabbers and drama! (Life is too short and we're gettin old, apart from our wee drummer chap!), if your one of those listed, please leave now!, if not, pull up a chair, open a beer, light a smoke, have a pogo, bang yer head off a wall etc!
To everybody that's joined us so far or are about to, thanks for being our FRIENDS!
2007 saw the Release of God is Not with us Today (Dr Strange Records). This album was written by the band and this time had no need to get the tail end of the 1980's out of their system. A definite progression from 12 Punk Moves. Just as life moves on so does Threats but at the same time remaining true to their roots. Check out the reviews :-
"Parody and humor goes a long way and these guys bridge the gap between '77 punk and today's sound that is dead-simple and straight forward. I'll close with the best lyrics in "Rejects," 'Can't wipe us out in the blink of an eye." - SugarBuzz Magazine
"God is not with us Today is a marked improvement on what threats have done before. Make no mistake, it is still Threats but this time the band didn't have to get the pent up feeling of 1982 out their system. This album definitely has a more powerful, smoking feel to it compared to earlier releases. The purists might say "that's not punk" but they say "Aye it fuckin is". .... and thats the truth hehe. " - PUNK AND OI .CO.UK
"I did listen to the new Threats LP two times and I REALY LIKE IT!!!! Didn't expect it to be even better than the twelve punk moves album, but I think it is. More melodic without losing any of the '82 spirit and energy. No metal trash or electronic crap; good honest music. It realy sounds like a life style if you understand what I'm saying. AAAAAA+++++++++"
"HOLY FUCK! It's balls to the wall, absolutely a heart stopper. The EQ'ing is beautiful, Jim sounds phenomenal, Gogsy is in top form!"
