About Me
Charter 77 are a four piece band from Melbourne's inner, northern and south eastern suburbs. The current line up has been together since November 2000. In that time the band has gained a reputation as being one of Melbourne's hardest working punk bands(by 2003 we had played 130 shows together). After many years of relentless gigging the band decided to release their first proper full length album which was released on Trial and Error records in July 2005 This was to be the first street punk oriented release on the label which has been releasing the some of Australias finest hardcore bands for almost 10 years. Charter 77s sound has been described as mixture of Oi!, Street Punk and Hardcore. At this stage, Charter 77 are rapidly gaining a following and a reputation as a band that just loves to get up and have a good time, touring to Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane numerous times. Charter 77 have played shows with prominent punk and hardcore bands such as Dropkick Murphys (USA), Strung Out (USA), The Bouncing Souls(USA), Beerzone(UK), Peter and the Test Tube Babies(UK), The Unseen(USA), Antinowhere League(UK), UK Subs (UK duh!), The Exploited (UK), Mindsnare, The Disables, Gazoonga Attack, Fast Times, Toe to Toe, Demolition Highstyle, World War XXIV, Bastard Squad, No Idea, In Name and Blood, Sense of Purpose, Run For Cover, Glen and The Peanutbutter Men, GGF, The Blurters, Yidcore, Vicious, Phalanx, Everhappens and the Speed Demons just to name a few.
