Aspirin - R.I.P - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Aspirin are a ska/punk/rap band from West Yorkshire, England. The band formed in 2004, but have only really been getting into the scene recently. Regardless of several member changes, they are now going stronger than ever, having played alongside the likes of Sonic Boom Six, Mumrah, Random Hand, Howards Alias and Milk2Sugars. This was reflected in May this year, when Aspirin won the junior title of the Musicians Centre battle of the bands, despite tough competition from the other bands that played.
After the success of the debut EP "Yeah The Tablet", fans can expect another EP to be recorded in the near future. The second EP will contain more recent tracks, and will show how Aspirin have matured and found their own unique sound. With influences ranging from Limp Bizkit to The Whisky Cats, Aspirin are undeniably different, and have something to suit even the most eclectic musical tastes.
"Aspirin are proving to be a formidable outfit on the Keighley scene, having supported the likes of Howards Alias, Sonic Boom Six and Random Hand already considering their ages they are on the way to becoming one of the best local live acts going."
"A bouncy, happy drunkards' friend of a band"
