About Me

The Fab Four come from the cultural centre of the UK - Leven/Methil and apart from playing music, they are heavily involved in drinking. Musical influences range from Marie Osmond to Donnie Osmond. Patrol will consider all offers of recording contracts and will accept donations gratefully. The band's main ambition for the future is to make lots of money"That's what we said on the insert for our second demo cassette, "Another Fiasco", in 1982. The bit about the money came true: in January 1997 we each made £12.50 from a live gig!We have never taken a decision to stop playing as a group, but around 1987, we just sort of stopped doing gigs. Around about 1992 we got together to do a party gig with another local band "Backlash".In October 1996 we were asked to do a support for Canadian band "The McCrackins" along with "External Menace". This went well (according to the audience), but was hellish (according to us). As a result of that gig we've played several others and are looking towards writing new material and recording some of the older songs which never made it onto tape/vinyl.There WILL soon be a CD of Patrol stuff - the original Patrol demo tapes and more. Meantimes, there are a couple of MPEG audio files on the discography page on the website here http://www.unknownsoldiers.co.uk/
