We are all drinking mates, with Tim & Steve being brothers too. We just started talking about forming a band as we all wanted to play UK82 type punk.
Sean used to play bass for Braindance and Income Support. Steve played for the Losers & Tim in Gutrot. Dean didn’t play drums until we started the band and picked it up as we went along. We played our fist gig at our mate Iggy’s
birthday party 6 months after forming, along with Discharge & Chaos UK. (Not
bad for a first gig!)

We’ve all been knocking about the punk scene for 25 years now, so we are good mates with loads of bands. As for who we would like to tour with, its got
to be the exploited, and this has just come true because Wattie has asked us to support them next year when they tour. Can’t fucking wait!

We are dead pleased with the reviews it’s had, it’s hard as fuck two fingers in the air Punk fucking Rock. It gets its main release on Cargo on Aug 27th. Fave songs keep changing but at the minute its March Together & Shed no
tears.

Yeah, we cover Skrewdriver’s Antisocial, it’s one of the best punk songs ever made. People forget they were a punk band on the same label as the Damned, before they went became a skinhead band. Playing it has had an effect; there are too many ignorant cunts quick to point the fascist finger without giving it any consideration. (Fuck you, we know who you are.. and do we give a fuck?) These cunts try to push us to the right, but fuck you - it’s not gonna happen, bollocks to your politics. (Was Punk once about freedom of speech?)

I'm anti-social, Anti-social, Anti-social. I hate the world.

Difficult one. It’s good to see a new younger crowd coming through but it seems as if the movement has been sanitized and has lost it’s protest, despite the world having more problems and dangers than it has ever had.

The grass is greener in Notts! We have some good Punk friendly pubs and a
great punk scene despite the efforts of the PC police trying to fuck things up and divide us all. Fuck em, in a year or two they will be back to their middle class lives with their mums wiping their arses.

Dean is doing another gig or two then moving on, so we are recruiting a new
drummer at the minute ready for autumn gigs. We have got 4 more songs ready so we hope to have a new EP out before the end of the year.

ACAB. And cheers to all our mates & the bands for support & dedication. We
couldn’t have done it without them. Massive thanks to Rat
