Better To Die On Your Feet Then Live On Your Knees

About Me

Ransom Holiday was the name on a headstone, his family is yet to contact us. We are a three piece band and we play faster rock mainly influenced by old school punk (The Clash), and reggae (Burning Spear, Toots and the Maytals). The line up is Max on guitar and vocals, Kevin on bass and vocals, and Mike on the drums. Our philosophy on writing music is this: Your future is at stake, face front and take it. Positive action. Let fury have the hour!
