The Vindickers

About Me

High octane punk-rock covers / originals band from Hastings, UK.

Okay, so it's mostly covers - we wanted to try something different! Paul's survived 14 years playing without the use of a shrink or any bio-hazard apparatus, and Jay's been drumming for major Hastings bands since Kurt Cobain was still alive!
Jme first fronted at 16, co-writing songs with Cage Theory (also with future members of Undertow) throughout their college days. They managed a fair few support slots with touring bands, and got to play The Black Horse Festival before going their seperate musical ways. He played with Paul in Justagide, and Jay in CBA before joining as guitarist with Zucchini, where they played around the country and in Europe, recorded an album in Belgrade, and released a single with Militant Entertainment, ending that tour supporting Status Quo at their local Hastings Beer Festival.
After a wild ride, and almost breaking the industry, Zucchini split; leaving Vice Like Grip, OMT and The Vindickers!
June 2008 marks the debut, and we hope to be playing loads more gigs and meeting lots of cool people and bands! Please leave us comments, all feedback welcome!
