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.
