Band Bio:
The band was formed at the end of 2003 by myself (Rob Wylde) and Jamie Delerict. We were sick of all the dull, boring, lifeless rock bands out there who couldn’t write a decent song or put on a great “rock show” to save their lives. We decided it was up to us to sort it out!
We released our debut album “Dial It Up” in April 2005 and have received glowing reviews all over the world (Hit Google and check it out for yourselves!). In May 2005 we completed a full UK tour with our American buddies The Erotics from Albany, NY. Around this time we also toured with VAIN, Trashlight Vision, and LA Guns to name a few, before heading over to the Sates in July to tour the East Coast playing venues in New York, Boston, Pennsylvania, etc. On returning from the States we headlined the festival Trashstock here in England and carried on touring up until December.
We’re currently about to head into the studio to record album number two which should be out in March/April 2006. We will then head off on a full UK tour and a return visit to the States in the summer.
Sound best described as:
Simply put - “Punk Rock Bon Jovi”
Influences?
Poison, Danger Danger, Ramones, D-Generation, Bon Jovi, Ratt, Social D
Ultimate Goal as a Band?
Opening for Bon Jovi this year would be awesome. We’re working on it. No seriously! We just want the change to get our music/show out there to as many people as possible. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that we have exactly what it takes to make it. Given the right opportunity by the right label we know we could be massive! It’s as simple as that!
See! He wasn’t kidding!
Best Gig?
Opening for VAIN here in the UK in May 2005. They’ve been heroes of mine since I was 12 so to play with those guys was amazing!
Worst Gig?
Playing to about 5 people in Barnsley, England. We trashed the stage that night!
