Touched By Nausea

Street punk from Johannesburg South Africa

About Me

Touched By Nausea is a 5 piece street punk band with Oi! influences from Roodepoort, JHB. Started in February 2005. Some bands we've played with are Solitary Confinement, AWOL, Red Brigade, Light Brigade, Skelm Helm, Hasten The Storm, The Hazards, TDKM, Gross Misconduct, Oi!Rothol, Dean & The Deadbeats, Killer Monsters, Insek.

Our message is basically to aware people of things that go on around them that they might not be aware of already (we don't know everything like other bands and people do) - the corruption of the government, corruption of politics, corruption of religion, money greed and hate, the world today how bad it is and how it gets worse and more specifically things and events that occur in South Africa which is relevant to the youth of the country. We've heard all the Bush stuff - we also hate him but there's also issues in South Africa like racism, unemployment, AIDS, crime, rape, etc that face us every day. Living life how we are and not giving a shit what people think. The intention is to inform, aware and create rhetoric to listeners. Issues that should be said such as equality, human rights and freedom of speech which just dont exist in our society. It is not all serious, there are some songs that relate to our lives and the way we live life. We don't portray/define ourselves as an Anarcho band because we're not that involved in it and we're not political activists, although some of our lyrics are political but some others are not. We talk mainly about the negative side of life - there is also a negative side of life that people sometimes neglect. We are not promoting the negative things, just highlighting them and creating an awareness of them. We keep our lyrics as original as possible.

WE DONT PREACH OR TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO SAY, EAT OR WEAR.
