About Me

Since forming in Jan 2002 AB Negative have been going from strength to strength and winning over many loyal fans with our exciting and energetic live shows showcasing our own particular brand of riff based guitar music.During the time of our first 2 E.P’s (Moshy Peas and The Upper Crust, both of which received great reactions from the press and fans) we toured the UK extensively, which included The R.I.P Tour which was associated with Kerrang! magazine and the NME. During these shows we played with such legends as The UK Subs, Peter & The Test Tube Babies and The Rezillos.We also had songs used from these E.P’s on U.S cartoon, Girlstuff/Boystuff, and American independent horror film, A-B Negative.November 2006 saw the release of the Death Music E.P. This record built on the success of the previous E.Ps and our fanbase increased significantly. In support of this E.P we toured the UK and played with such acts as Discharge, GBH and played many dates with the UK Subs on their 2007 UK Tour. In the summer of 2007 we performed at the Edinburgh fringe festival, this was a fantastic experience and we shall be performing there again in the future.We are currently about to release our debut single with a full album to follow in late 2009. We shall be touring the UK in support of these new releases winning over more fans and gaining more rave reviews for our entertaining live shows.</
