About Me


Umbrella Assassins formed at the end of 2006, by four mates from a very small,grey town called Haverhill.We are a punk band at heart but try to take influences from a wide range of bands.Our plan is simple- make honest, real music with the very limited tools we have, we tend to spend the little money we do have on things we shouldn't!... but then who does n't? right? Its important for us to be true to ourselfs. Thanks for listening.

Sounds Like: A young man who lived in pains,
Who after infinite racking of brains,
Said that he'd found,
A new kind of sound,
but couldn't remember his name.
