We are a bunch of Novacastrians drawn together by our common love of all things Punk Rock. We enjoy drinking beer and playing the music we love! It works for us and we will do it till we are old and grey and piss off our fellow nursing home residents! Social commentary is prevalent throughout our lyrics since we have opinions about everything but we throw in some light-hearted tunes as well to keep the balance.
We are self-managed and have played 100s of shows, largely at local pubs, where we have developed a fan base over the 11 years (Did I mention we are as old as the hills?) that we have been involved in Newcastle's Punk/Hardcore music scene. We have headlined gigs with many bands and supported international acts like Pulley, Against Me, 28 Days, No Use For A Name, Smoke Or Fire, and Lagwagon.
2009 is the year we release our 2nd full length album. Entitled "Industrial Retribution", it has just been completed it and we will be launching it on Anzac Day (25th April) at the Bar On The Hill when we play with Frenzal Rhomb and Nancy Vandal.
"None The Wiser" was our first album released in 2004 and although it received some kick'n reviews and still gets tv and radio airplay, we decided we can do a whole lot better ... We are expecting great things from this new disk as we have evolved a lot since our last effort!
We are stoked with how far we've come, love playing gigs and laying down new material is what keeps us going. Thanks to everyone for their support so far and even if you get sick of us over the next 50 years we will NEVER GIVE UP so you're stuck with us! Thanks for listening - come see a show soon. And to anyone who gives a damn about us thankyou...seriously we mean it.

"Parasite" rules! I know so many fuckers those words apply to! Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to see you in the states!. I'm pretty sure with proper promotion you guys will blow the fuck up!
Fuck it, maybe I should by a ticket to Ausie-land. I want to see you guys!
Hey Heath, not not yet man. I believe you sent it last Tuesday so it should take another week before it gets here. The last interviews I did were in Europe (Save the Embers, Never Been Famous, Reflected) and the info/links are on my blogs. Thanks so much for checking them out man! Appreciate that my friend.
I was supposed to conduct an interview with a band last Friday, Mute, but I could not meet them for the show (and they were too busy this time round to hang out before or afterwards) so next time they are in Ottawa I'll be interviewing them for The Grind on PRC, giving them a VIP tour of Parliament, and beers on me. Check them out here: www.myspace.com/mutepunkrock - Canada's best.
One day I will definitely be interviewing Wiseheimer - that's a promise that I intend to keep. And to see Wiseheimer, Last, and Lost In Line rocking it out on stage.
I've been thinking about ideas for you guys lately and please check out this guy called Sebas from Canada. He's amazing at merch designs (t-shirts, cd cover, and more). Just an idea but he could really do something special for you guys. www.myspace.com/sebastheriault
I've been to your page like ten times!!!!! I fucking love your songs!!! It's a brutal, competitive world for good punk bands these days! Please, I beg YOU never give up!!!!
Thanks for the add. Every add helps and is appreciated. If you like the goth-industrial music, then go hang out on the page, read some blogs, buy some stuff, or drop some comments and show support. If you don't like the music, then let's just pretend you do. Thanks again. - D.
hell yeah guys, if you're ever over here let us know, we'll set you up with some shows and drink some beers for sure! good luck with everything, - Jason
