About Me

..One summerday of 2002, they all met after talking about making a new band that would not suck as much as all bands in the present local scene. 3 years later, the scene don't suck at all, and hopefully we don't too. What's to say, besides that we from time to time like to travel in a van and play shows, and we also like to record our songs and have the factory to print them in multiple copies so other people can listen to them.

THUGS - RELEASED IN THE UK 3RD SEPT 2007

"F**king hell this is a good record. Loaded with jagged riffs and snarling attitude and shot through with a ton of unforced melody, Desperado well and truly hit the spot.......this is an abrasive and accomplished record that demands attention from start to finish. Brilliant" - KKKK Kerrang 1/9/07 for the rest of the review.
