Bangers

Bangers are a pop rock band from Cornwall. When not at home they like to spend most of their time hanging out with girls or Crocus and Dave. They are not crazy dudes, but they do like to drink alcohol and sew on patches and listen to Propagandhi. As well as releasing a split CDR with Ssssnakes in February, we've recorded 5 songs for a split LP with Break the Habit which should be out pretty soon.
