Uncle Brian

If you havent heard the noise, then its time you turned the stereo up. In a time of mass made boy bands and teeny bopping popstars, Uncle Brian slashed their way onto the UK music scene with their debut album Barbeque Music on Moon Ska Records in 2000, without stopping to see the smoke and dust rise behind them. The industry hasnt quite been the same since.



2003 saw the release of catchy punk rock greatness by this hard-hitting three-piece UK band with the It Just Seems Right EP on 20 Deck Records. It Just Seems Right kicked down the door and spawned the catchy pop punk single, Postcards.

The Postcards video entered the top 5 on channel P Rocks listings in its first week as well as the number one spot on Scuzz TV two weeks later. Uncle Brian began to storm the rock circuit with no intentions of slowing down.



The EP went on to catch the ear of Golf Records who re-released it in April 2004. But nothings ever good enough for Uncle Brian and so their hard work saw the EP snapped up and released in Japan by Pyropit Records with a video for the smash hit Cindy Lou aired in heavy rotation on MTV Japan. The Uncle Brian fever spread through Japan like wildfire and is catching on to the rest of the world in godspeed.



After their countless tours with renowned acts Simple Plan, Mad Caddies, Bowling For Soup, Reel Big Fish, and Wheatus, and knee buckling shows with The Vandals, OPM and Millencolin, Uncle Brian outdid themselves and released their much anticipated second album All The Gear But No Idea in March 2004 on Golf Records. All The Gear But No Idea breaks all boundaries showcasing the creative and diverse side of the band, with melodic chords and fun rifts for songs like Willow and Sorry, to the deep, dark, and edgy song About My Life. The album also features the dynamic cover of UK political folk singer Billy Braggs 80s hit A New England which has been given the thumbs up approval from the man himself. Pyropit Records then released All The Gear But No Idea in Japan with great success including even more publicity on MTV with their "Wake Up" video.



In 2005 Uncle Brian raced through the streets of England on a endless whirl wind of tour dates, most noteably with the dynamic US punk ska band Street Light Manifesto. With 2006 thrusting Uncle Brian into a song writing frenzy and back into the recording studio, add to this a new EP in production and a ever growing international fan base, stir up generously with punk rock sounds, tattoos and mad cap chaos, and youll be left with songs youll always remember and a band you will NEVER forget.
