Like The Pogues, but with more teeth. There is a good old Country feel and topics vary between being poor and
being drunk ...
Formed in 1986 and re-formed for a reunion in 2008 with a series of gigs at Guilfest Festival in Surrey that definitely went down a storm!
Death Valley Surfers are what you can call “Crazy Rock'n'Roll”. DVS are sworn to fun & are dedicated to having a party on stage. In 1998 Russ Surfer, the former drummer of The Highliners decided start a new band. Using the influence of Surfin’ & 60’s Hot Rod music, he began by blending this to Psychobilly. The band has evolved its own unique sound, with the jump about Rhythm of Bo-Diddley on speed. DVS continued the stage chaos of the likes of The Highliners & King Kurt.
Blacktop was the first post-Gories project for Mick Collins. While similar to the legendary garage punk three-piece, Blacktop is a clear progression, in terms of musicianship and songwriting skill, for Collins and is also the beginning of his movement towards noisier material. The band's sound was fuller and more sophisticated, due in no small part to the addition of a bass line and the songwriting input of Darin Lin Wood ( Black Snakes with Richard Kern, Fireworks and '68 Comeback) and Alex Cuervo.
The Deadites reign out of Worcester, MA.
Dead Kennedys are a hardcore punk/punk rock band from San Francisco, California. During the 1980s the band gained a large underground following in the international punk music scene. Their music mixed the more experimental elements of English 1970s punk with the raw energy of the 1980s American hardcore punk scene. Dead Kennedys' songs mix the deliberately shocking lyrics of punk with a satirical and sarcastic left-wing commentary on social and political issues.
Blood Duster are a five piece grind/death/stoner rock band from Melbourne, Australia, known for their fast and heavy musical style. The band are currently enjoying some semi-mainstream success after their self-titled Blood Duster album and an appearance at the annual Big Day Out festival. The band's first offering, Yeest, was a straightforward grindcore album. The follow up album, Str8 Outta Northcote was a southern-flavored stoner rock album. The band's third album, Cunt was a more intense and true-to-its-roots offering, with rhythmic bluesy metal guitars and heavy drumwork.
