WASTED LIFE

About Me

Wasted Life were formed in 2007 in Stoke On Trent, a once thriving polluted smog ridden city based on its pottery industry. Jobs were sent overseas and it is now one of the most economically deprived areas in the UK. However.... it set the tone and paved the way for some great local musicians like DISCHARGE, LEMMY of Motorhead, THE SKEPTIX, SLASH (of GUNS N RoSES, ehh hem), BROKEN BONES, SECTION 5 and a guy named ROBBIE WILLIAMS who you've probably never heard of. What originally started as a punk rock covers "pub band", Wasted Life have done a complete turn around with an entire new line up to crank out there very own angry anthems. Lead Guitarist "Rat", also of local ska heros THE ROUGH KUTZ recruited Jeff "JJ" Janiak for vocal duties , an American from New Jersey who happened to be living in Stoke On Trent and was the frontman for the usa's DEAD HEROS. Also added to the new line up was "Stark"on bass, of the 80's punk group VA-T-EN. "Lindop" was added as rythm guitarist and "Mach" was added behind the kit. The band recently just came out with there debut release on DIRTY OLD MAN RECORDS, a split CD with black country punks RATMONKEY. Wasted Life have no hidden agendas, no message to get across, we cant sing and we dont dance. Our songs are about reality and a sick society as we know it based on our own experiences , not how we think it should be. Everyday Life is a struggle.....Wasted Life is an escape !

from PURE IMPACT:  http://pure-impact.com/Wasted Life are brilliant, excellent powerful early 80's style punk, quite the smack in the face. Even Ratmonkey is good old-school Brit punk. Worth it for ...
