The Apostates

The Apostates were formed in the summer of 2006 out of a mutual affection of getting tanked on cheap cider and playing noisy, brash punk rock with a healthy side order of dirty ska licks and soulful reggae rhythms. They keep their mix very English, intently giving the A-OK to let their London born tongues shout loud and proud instead of adopting counterfeit accents and conforming to the Americanised punk rock aesthetic of today.
