About Contraband

Contraband was originally formed in 2002 by Dan Whitfield and Billy Smith but under the name of The Pleb Ship Cruisers. As The Pleb Ship Cruisers, Billy and Dan mostly wrote punk songs as they both have punk backgrounds. Once they had written a couple of songs they approached Ash Talbot to play drums for them and went on to play at many events as a trio. After two years of writing together, The Pleb Ship Cruisers parted ways, seeking to broaden there musical horizons.

After a year or so Billy and Dan started to write again and due to there new musical knowledge and having found other influences have created a sound like no other under the name of Contraband ! Contraband , are an explosive mix of many different genres, a very new sound to the music industry. Some of the genre influences that appear in the music of Contraband include punk, rock, funk, orchestral and more.

Contraband is currently recording and working very hard on their debut album “Hydroside”.
