About Me


Hailing from the industrial ashes of Sunderland in the northeast of England a new and exciting 4 peice outfit
Graham Lee, Duncan Maddison, Gary Sayers, John Cummings,
Graham Lee, Front man and brainchild of the band has demonstrated tremendous ambition and focus to establish this dazzling ensemble offering up lead vocals, guitar and lyricist, with Duncan Maddison, bestowing vocal support with massive guitar elements and an enigmatic stage presence; the ambitious and newest member John Cummings, currently with both The Scrubs UK and The Chevrons and lovin it ! forming charismatic strokes on bass and former Mr Quimbies Beard drummer Gary Sayers attentive, thou wild percussions, with his previous band has experienced supporting illustrious bands such as Hawkwind and Ozric Tentacles - this completes this stellar ensemble.
The Scrubs UK was conceived in November 2005 and within just a few practice sessions the band became a brilliant reality. The groups lyrical portrayal of a world-gone-mad, swirls in evocative waves, with bold and dazzling form. The Scrubs UK are on a mission far beyond the scope of the mundane , with roguish tune-age in Facelift, the fourth track on their debut CD Early Doors , a searing portrait of the media-driven obsession with unattainable physical perfection and the futility of it all. This is a strange time, a faceless society/Addicted to the knife /Where is your sobriety??/Nip and a tuck its a faceless society/I dont like the way that those eyes look back at me. In stunning proportion each stinging truth is shoved into your face, with panache and audacity whether you like it or not.
The songs portray the reality of societys quest to embrace the truth, with the backbite of its eventual rejection of same. Subtle pacing and structure- evoking recollections of The Association woven into the even more urgent, Get Them Running, a disturbing and stunningly accurate vision of our worlds decline into wars that have no purpose and no end. "Tell me where youre going when the Chinese come - The Russians got his A-K and youre on the run - Terrors round the corner and they dont give a damn - Its worse today than Vietnam...Theyve got you running - got you running - got you running to hide.
The Scrubs would like to thank the The Real Lyric for help in compiling this bio and introduction..

Music is amazing, new bands influence us just as much as the classics do. Watching new bands like Undercut, hearing tracks from Firebug, trancing out on tracks from Duel Caliber we fucking love it.. There are shed loads of bands here in the north east, millions across this myspace mallarcy we try to listen to as much as we can.. The songs you hear on our player or website have have bits from everywhere but we hope we have at least some originality in there. Anyway here are just a few of the bands that have had an impact on us!!!:
