The Offbeats [AT UNI!]

A new generation with the same sad song

About Me

We're from Teesside and we decided to start playing because college was becoming a twat and we had a common interest in punk music. This was about september time '05 and we're still going now. We're now in the process of trying to get our name about in the local area and are hoping to meet some cool people, bands and organisations through myspace. If any promoters/bands in the local area have a gig that needs a band then don't hesitate to drop us a line! We recorded our demo and we have Five(!) songs recorded, so listen and tell us what you think. If anyone wants a copy, hand us a CD-R and we'll burn you one, or d/l them. BTW: The sound quality goes a bit dodgy at the end of Solitary Confinement because of some mean double-bass-pedalling
