It was only earlier this year that the band decided to shorten the name to Weapons.The band played their first gig in June 2003 at The Verge in London's Kentish Town, where the three rappers formed an unlikely yet compelling trio. Infectiously energetic, they ploughed a course through metal, punk, ska and post rock, aided by collaborator Carlos Da Jackal's furious scratching.Holed up in a north London studio over that new year, Weapons recorded their first demos with Damian Taylor (Prodigy/Bjork/U.N.K.L.E.). On the back of the recordings, they were invited to Texas to play the 2004 SXSW festival. Selected by Music Week alongside Franz Ferdinand and The Hives as one of the buzz bands of the week, Weapons were soon doing a radio 1 session for Beth & Huw. Later in the year they released their first UK single "Terrorist Youth" to critical acclaim on indie American Blood, with plays across the evening sessions of Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq and XFM's Ian Camfield. They ended 2004 with dates on Radio 1's "In new music we trust tour".Following the success of their second single "Black Line Ninja" in March 2005, the band went over to the US to play their first LA show at The Viper Rooms in May. When they got back, Weapons were fortunate to start working with Graeme Stewart (Radiohead's engineer, Amnesiac/Hail to the thief) who recorded a limited edition third single "Death of a nation", which was released in November.In early 2006 the band finished writing their much anticipated debut album and recorded it with Graeme at Courtyard Studios in Oxfordshire. Recalling a multitude of musical references - Pixies, RATM, Muse, Supergrass, Eminem - the album is an exhilarating 36 minutes through the heads of this genre-crossing sextet. The self-titled record is released through the band's own label Wicked Old Lady Records on Sept 18th 2006, preceded by the single "Love is Thunder", from Sterpark, Polokwane, South Africa to the U.K underground, big cities to small towns. Either with his band www.myspace.com/weaponsmusic or with his dj crew www.joburgproject.com, Mo-laudi has been rocking it. Punk, deep house, kwaito, hip hop,breaks and reggaeton many are left confused trying to keep up with the style chameleon." , ,
