We're a band playing a range of original music from mellow rocksteady to full throttle thrash, but mainly levelling out in the Ska/Punk area - think Rancid, Specials, Inner Terrestrials and Crass, but as far and wide as The Paragons to Discharge. Check our lyrics page out for what we're about - we say what we think and we're not shy about it!
We've shared a stage with literally hundreds of bands already but most notably.Andy T, Asian Dub Foundation, Astronauts, The Beat, Buzzcocks, Dr & The Medics, Eastfield, Ed Tudor-Pole, Eureka Machines, Goldblade, Highliners, Inner Terrestrials, Jaya The Cat, John Otway, Lawnmower Deth, The Lurkers, Moral Dilemma, Natural Rhythm, New Town Kings, The Offenders, One Way System, The Oppressed, Paul Carter, Poundaflesh, Random Hand, , Restarts, Rico Rodriguez, Roddy Radiation, Sick On The Bus, The Skints, Steve Lake (Zounds) - as his band!!, Stranglers, Subhumans, UK Subs, Virus, Zounds and many many more.!!
All gigs are full of energy, from a solo acoustic set to a full band explosion, there's no point coming to our gigs unless you wanna burn off some energy - we hate boring audiences, luckily we can generally kick up enough fuss to get people moving!!
We play anywhere, we're not afraid to travel, we've been up and down the country - Scooter Rallies are a particular fave and we can be easily bribed to play cheap at them, just ask Sticky Rock, Can't Start Won't Start, Yorkshire Scooter Alliance, Huddersfield Scooter Club, Odd Mod Squad for a start.
There's a rumour going round that we do covers and are available to do these for functions, weddings, bar mitzvah's etc. This is true - the covers range from 50's Rock 'n Roll to simple 90's Rock, with a heavy dose of ska/reggae thrown in. But be warned, we're not a tribute act, we play our versions of those covers and are only for genuine fans of punk, ska, etc - they're fucking awesome, but only if you like that kinda thing - we take most of our function bookings from recommendations, ask for details.
So that's us - we're a straight forward band, we turn up, we play loud and fast, we're not complicated, and we're cheap!! Probably the cheapest Scooterist band in the world.
This is our finest hour.
We're the house band at The Bell for FULL BAND OPEN MIC. Just bring yer guitar, bass, drumsticks - all the amps and gear is set up through full MASSIVE PA.be warned, it's not like a normal Open Mic - we get 150 people and a mosh pit at this one, so get down!!
