About Me

In 2004 Young Offender began as the solo project of Young Offender himself, There were no other band members, just a drum machine from a car boot sale, a second hand bass, and the beloved sounds of a semi-acoustic guitar. In 2006 the second phase of Young Offender was born. With Chris on rhythm guitar, Henry on drums and Michael on bass, the band finally found a line-up full of punk rock passion and power. After many gigs, both at home and around the midlands Chris decided to leave, to pursue his own band, so Dan stepped in to take the roll of rhythm guitarist. After recording our album "First Offence" and some gigs, Dan also decided to leave, to start up his own business, so Chris came back again, to reform the original line-up once more. ____________________________________________________________ ____--- New album "First Offence" out now !! £5.00 ____________________________________________________________ ____
