One Way System

One Way System first lit up the second wave punk revolution with their fresh faced, no nonsense sound in the early eighties, when Oi! and skinhead culture had all but rejected the original punk ethic. One Way System managed to bridge the gap. From the front cover of Sounds to the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, the System remained sharp and impressive, their natural aggression and un-faulting professionalism sealing their reputation as one of the most exciting bands on the international punk circuit.

Societys Parasites

Societys Parasites saw its birth in 1997. Started by brothers Jimmy (drums) and Freddy (vocals/guitar), their intentions were simple' to start a musical project that would let them release their anger and tension through loud vocals and loud instruments. The band underwent changes in 1998 and then again in 2005, finalizing the current line up with Vince on guitar and Andy Effe on bass. Enough with the history, lets get to the fun part... Slipping away from the more melodic/sing along style of Punk rock, Societys Parasites offer a genre that is genuine to their Punk rock roots.
