WE'RE NOT DOWN AND OUT

About Me

alreet cockers. were the fractions and we're from in and around rochdale, manchester. weve been in the game for the past 5/6 years or so, had several ep's out but more recently......TNS compilation, which features our track 'we were kings' along side 19 of the best punk/rock/ska/psychobilly the northwest could possibly offer. it really is a quality cd and for £4 is a bargainnext we've just had a split ep released with 3 of our tracks and 4 of revenge of the psychotronic man's. they are punk n'roll and like us, call manchester home. this again is £4...for 7 tracks... it really is value for moneywe've done a couple of tours and are going into the studio to record our first full length album in the next few months, hopefully to be released by the end of the year.your support means everything to us and we are nothing without it. come check us out at a gig sometime, or if your a promoter send us a message and we'll get right back to you. if your ever in manchester with not much to do, check out TNS or Bomb Ibiza. these 2 top quality promoters always put on grea gigs and really do put their heart into it
