The Guilty Pleasures

What Are We Fighting For?

About Me


The Guilty Pleasures have been kicking around on the North-West punk circuit for the best part of three years, playing their politically inspired, new-school punk rock to all who are willing to listen!
They play songs which are melodic and catchy, yet in-your-face and fast paced. Combined with lyrics that deliver a strong message of political awareness, these have proved to be a great formula for winning over fans of all generations.
Their ever-growing reputation as a hard working bunch of lads has recently seen them sharing a stage with the likes of THE UNSEEN, Towers Of London, The Epoxies, MC Lars and Sonic Boom Six, as well as with a large number of the legendary old-school punk bands such as Sub Humans, GBH, Goldblade, Vice Squad, Discharge and UK Subs.
Having just released their debut album, "What Are We Fighting For?" and a recent appearance at the legendary REBELLION Festival, things are looking bright for The Guilty Pleasures.
For bookings, please contact through Myspace or by emailing [email protected]
