About Me


Fast and furious no-nonsense punk rock with a ripping brass section from Essex : THE FILAMENTS perfectly fill the gap between RANCID's seminal tune packed album "Let's Go!" and CONFLICT's political challenge on "The Ungovernable Force".
THE FILAMENTS played aggressive, horn backed punk rock. Formed 6 years ago, they progressed to become a full time touring band, and when their debut album "Skull and Trombones" was released in 2001 on New Blood Records, it was hailed as one of the most exciting new releases to come out of the UK punk rock scene.
Tours with THE CASUALTIES, DEADLINE, THE BUSINESS, and ROGER MIRET AND THE DISASTERS followed. THE FILAMENTS gained a reputation for their immense live shows in the UK, and even more so on the European mainland where they constantly played festivals and headline shows.
