Post War Wage Slaves

Fresh off the Press, newcomers ‘Post War Wage Slaves’ are three Liverpool Lads;from the ‘rough bit’ of Huyton and they are on their starting blocks to race to the top. The alchemic power of this ‘trio’ is a mighty one to be reckoned with and with all probability they will slip into a successive role of such bands as The Police, The Jam and Supergrass but under their original branded genre of ‘Urban Punk’. Twenty two year old lead guitar and vocalist David Ruddock has a voice to match that of Kurt Cobain. Major influences to him are Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison and The Doors. David came up with the idea of ‘Post War Wage Slaves’ in empathy of all the millions of people who have to work, but don’t want to. Andy Cowan is twenty one and he plays bass, it was a transition from years of playing guitar that he thought he would move his dark and melodic tunes to a deeper level. His influence grows from Simon and Garfunkel and Paul Weller. Cowan spent six months at LIPA and says the course he attended gave ‘great direction and opened doors’, he was able to work with successful musicians from the ‘80’s (Keith Mullen ‘The Farm’, Eddie Lunden ‘China Crisis’ and Matt Flinn ‘Honey Records’) who gave insight into the musical arena. The youngest member to conclude the threesome is drummer, Patrick Rossiter 19. He felt lured to the drums just two years ago, saying they have ‘a space age primitive’ quality. His musical inspirations are ‘The Offspring’, ‘CKY’, ‘Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’ and ‘Guns n Roses’. The boys give their first choices of support to bands, ‘Dirty Pretty Things’, ‘Razorlight’ and ‘The Kooks’….they say that in the next year or two they see themselves signed and on tour, or else in ‘AA meetings’…. One of their goals is to headline at the V Fest. With material that is ‘hypnotic melodic groovy ‘bitey’ rock’.Post War Wage Slaves’ are as yet little known, however with boss tunes such as ‘Sex in the City’ (potential first single), ‘Baby Jake’ and ‘Suicide Strangers’ (plus an astonishing artillery of anthems under their belts) they’re likely to detonate before too long.
