“Punk's not dead. Never was, and never will die” – the opening
line to the beginning of their biography on their page. In my opinion this
ultimately describes the bands attitude to life and their music. They’re raw,
fun, all RIDICULOUSLY good looking and insanely good at what they do. You can
definitely hear their influences, but they certainly stick to their guts and
give their own individual twist on it. Seeing them live is an experience of its
own. Screaming girls (& squeaking boys), “insane guitar riffs”, and a
little flash back to the 80’s, these boys are well on their way into the hearts
of every South African Lady, and every true punk rocker. I took a teeny bit of
their time to ask them a few fun questions about themselves and what life’s
like being a rock star:
How long have you guys been performing for?
We Have Been Performing since February 2011.
What, in your opinion, is the most enjoyable / fulfilling part of being a part of this industry?
We love it when people sing our songs back to us! No better feeling!
What would you consider to be your least favourite part of being in the industry?
It's extremely hard to be taken seriously at first. So basically the initial stages of the band.
Have you ever encountered any Crazy fans/ incidents with fans during a show or out in public?
Are there any normal fans? We play punk rock and act like idiots, so do our fans. Lol.
Where are the majority of your performances based (area wise) and how do you advertise your upcoming shows to the public?
Most of our recent shows have been around the Joburg area, but it's more of a split between Joburg and Pretoria. We advertise on Twitter and Facebok.
