Band name:

Date & location formed:
Norwich in late 2014 with a different lineup and songs, early 2015 with this one.

Reason for forming:
I needed a local band to play a gig I was putting on for Cardiac Arrest and wanted to play some straight up hardcore with my mates.

What are your lyrics about?
Rip off merchants, the fact that the idea of ‘scene unity’ is total bullshit if it means you have to tolerate ignorant idiots, apolitical fence sitters and apologists, bullshit British nationalism masquerading as a pastiche whilst fascists march under the same flag.

How would you describe your sound?
Hardcore for punks…

What’s in the future for this band?
More songs, some gigs if people want us to play them. Probably a few more lineup changes before we give up.
