Sounds Like: Murder Mystery Punk, now you might be thinking "what the hell is Murder Mystery Punk?" Well that's the general idea, we could just say Punk but there is more to our music than just straight punk. We have lots of influences, the mainstay being punk but we have evolved our music, or least we think so. Have a listen and see what you think, don't think you'll be disappointed.
Some kind words
hey boys, nice to meet ya. Your sound is very unique yet familiar. The strong punk base unites the listeners in that good old rebelious punk spirit, but at the same time you incorporate fresh musical ideas and go down certain paths that punk music has scarcely ventured down before. you can chant along with it, you can dance to it, you can riot to it. Overall, the taunting melodies, indie-liciuos guitar licks, driving percussion, and heartfelt lyrics are a combination that no doubt gets the crowd moving. good progressive work my friends :-)
Hey nice to meet you. You've got an awesome sound and a lot of talent. Too bad you're in the UK, I'd love to see you live.
