street punk

So, the almighty HAVE NOTS have arisen like a phoenix from the ashes of two Boston punk mainstays, STRAY BULLETS and CHICAGO TYPEWRITER (ok, that may be a bit dramatic, but you get the idea)...featuring Jameson Hollis, Steve Patton, and Matt Pruitt from ChiTy, and Jon Cauztik from SB, HAVE NOTS play the "ill ragga punk" that makes the kids dance and occasionally get so excited that they puke on themselves (the kids, not the band...the band pukes on themselves for entirely different reasons...ask Pruitt why he doesn't wear a scarf when it's cold out anymore).

1) Oi! band formed in Sunderland around May of 1979. The original line up was: Steve "Cast Iron" Smith (vocals), Tony Van Frater (Guitar), Gaz Stuart (bass) and Dona (drums). Self released a four track EP entitled "Third And Final," which had been their demo, in an edition of 250 copies. This EP was re-released in the mid 90s as "Border Guards" on Combat Rock.
Then recorded two tracks for the "Carry On Oi!" album. Only one, "SPG," would actually appear on the compilation though.

The Templars are an oi punk band formed in Long Island, New York in 1991. Comprised of black and white skinhead members, they have several influences, including Oi!, punk, glam rock, rock n roll and mod. The band's name comes from an ancient order of Christian Warrior Monks called the Knights Templar.
