The Occupiers

About Me

The Occupiers. 4 guys that play rock'n'roll slashed with punk. An early blueprint for their sound was the Welsh punk band Anrhefn. Howl Griff ( http://www.myspace.com/howlgriff ) saw them play The Bay Hotel, Aberystwyth circa 1985 and the memory is embedded like a blade in his brain to this day. Another band he saw around this time was AC/DC on the Fly On The Wall tour. They were so loud that his chest hurt when the cannons exploded. The riffs of Motorhead and Budgie were especially important too, creating short, fast songs, not too many guitar solos and nihilistic lyrics. There's a revolution going on around here!!! BIG RIFFS ARE BACK!!!!The band's songs were used by the spoof Q magazine band 'Hope Against Hope' last summer. The band gave permission as they didn't really think anyone would like the songs, especially in today's climate of manufactured acts and patronising indie bands, but it appears that many did so they have decided to set up their own My Space site.If you like the music - let them know - there are many more in the vaults that they could put up here so just drop them a line ...
