Unfortunately we have had to cancel playing the Subhumans gig we had listed in Brighton on the 10/08/10, but I’m sure we'll be playing Brighton again...

We have also been listed on some posters as playing The Fuk Reading gig up in London on the 27/08/10 but whilst we were asked to play it we had confirmed we could not do it back in May. We have spoken to Risky and the Reknaw crew and they have apologised for the mix up and removed us from the new posters, etc. Sorry to anyone that was looking forward to seeing us, we will be back up in London soon for sure. However, even though we aren't playing it looks like a good gig! See the flyer for details.

We are in the process of finalising some gigs at the moment and will post them on the site once we have the confirmed details.

Thanks to Bloody Kev for the recent gig in London which was fun, we are all enjoying playing as a four piece and it's still sounding tight and powerful. We are still looking to get our new bass player gigging by the end of the year but in the meantime we can still deliver a right fuckin' racket if required! The next gig for us is this weekend at the Nottingham Punks Picnic, flyer with details here.

Just a quick update this month to confirm we aren't dead! Played our first couple of gigs as a 4 piece this month and both were great fun. Thanks to everyone who came and especially Steve and JJ for sorting them out. Next up is a last minute gig up in London on the 03/06/10 with Palm from Japan, details on the gig page.

We have finshed the last recording we did and just need to find a few hours to do the final mix. Sounds awesome...

Thanks to everyone who came to Ad’s farewell gig in Brighton a couple of weeks back, particularly all those that travelled, played or helped with running the gig. It was a busy night with a great atmosphere and all the bands put in great sets. We managed to pull off a probably never to repeated cover of ‘Second coming’ by ‘Battalion of Saints’ that Ad had been wanting to do for a few years to add to the occasion! All in all a great send off. Now we just need to get our new bassist up to speed...

We are planning to finish the recording we started recently this month and to continue to get the songs ready for our LP. Plus we have gigs coming up over the next few months as listed on the gig page so plenty to keep us busy. As ever if you are interested in putting us on please get in touch, unfortunately we can’t do everything we are offered but we’ll always try and accommodate as far as we can.

Lastly a bit of bad news, the Reknaw sound system who have put us on countless times and are stalwarts of the London punk scene have had a massive setback in losing their van/rig in a fire. There are a number of benefits to keep Reknaw running, details at the Reknaw site here. Reknaw have always supported the underground DIY punk scene and are one of the UK's longest running free party systems so please support them now they need our help.

The big news this month is that Adam our bass player is moving to Australia which naturally means he'll no longer be playing for us. Ad's swansong prior to his departure for Oz will be one last gig in Brighton next month on the 11/04/10. We've made it into a bit of an party with some of the best Hardcore bands in the UK right now, take a look at the flyer, plus thanks to Sned and a happy coincidence we've got Bradford’s leading NWOBHM revivalists Conquest Of Steel to finish the evening in over the top trad. metal style.

As mentioned last time we are in the studio this weekend to record a couple of tracks for projects we have been asked to contribute to. This will include a cover of Discharge's 'Protest and Survive' which was one of the first tunes we jammed on so a fitting coda for the end of an era for us. Once these are completed we will continue writing the songs for our debut LP that we are planning to record later this year.

In the meantime we are continuing to gig and will play as a four piece with Neal taking over bass duties until we have a new bass player gig ready. We have the first one with the UK Subs in Hastings on May 7th. We are also playing the North London Punks Picnic on Friday 21/05/10, flyer here. Following that we are in Nottingham in June and Birmingham in July more details on the Gigs page.

Thanks to everyone that has come to see us, organised a gig, fed us, bought us a drink, given us a place to stay, helped out in anyway, bought any of our records etc or just come up and said hello this year. As ever your support is appreciated and makes playing in the band much more fun. See you all next year.

We are presently starting to write for an album and have already played a couple of the new songs at recent gigs. We will being playing some more new material at the Southampton gig in December which is our last gig of the year. We have also confirmed a gig in London on the 22/01/10 with Visions Of War the day before the Punks alive festival in Birmingham. Looks like it'll be a good weekend...

The Horror(ESP) didn't get in the country so won't be playing on the gigs on Friday and Saturday but both gigs are still going ahead both with great line-ups please see the gigs page for details.

Gigs added in Brighton, Bristol with Horror(ESP) and Southampton.

Firstly an apology that this site has not been kept up to date for a couple of months due to technical problems with our hosting. The infrequent updates that were posted were to our old host were not uploaded correctly so were never visible. We have now moved to a new host to rectify this problem. Additionally this site will be kept up to date on a regular basis.

We will be be playing the Punks alive festival up in Birmingham in January of next year with some great bands incl. Hellkrusher, Visions of War, Police Bastard, Beginning of the End etc, other bands and details on the flyer. Despite us and the above bands all coming from the harder end of the spectrum it is a eclectic bill over the 3 days so probablly something for every punk there...

Unfortunately the promoter has had to cancel the gig in Norwich on the 01/08/09 so apologies to anyone who was looking to come along. We are looking to reschedule a gig up there and will update the site when we know when.

On a more positve note we have been asked to contribute a track to the the upcoming Angry scenes 4 compilation which is a benefit for the family of the late Trogg from Contempt. Other bands include Subhumans, Restarts, Inner Terrestials and many more. Further details when we have them.

Thanks to everyone who organised or came to one of the gigs in Europe last month particulary Brad, Leon, Jacob, Janne, all at Grazzonen, Stevie, Ballo and Diskelma for their hospitaltity

Finally on the gig front we are playing the Derby Punx Picnic in July details here, We are in the process of sorting out a gig for the Friday on the way up from Brighton to make a weekend of it details when we have them.

Lots of interesting news items in this month’s update. We have had the test pressings back for 'War with No End' and it sounds brutal! Fast, raw, savage metallic hardcore/crustcore and easily both the best recording and material we have done to date. We are now waiting the finished item, which should be with us in early Feb.

On the gig front we have a few gigs lined up in Feb and March, please note the Discharge gig in Brighton has now moved to April and check out the flyer for Edinburgh. Please check the gig pages for details on all these. We will also be doing a mini UK tour with our mates in 'Visions of War' from Belgium in May. We'll add the dates as they are confirmed to us.

Finally we are in the process of organising some dates in Europe incl. Netherlands, Germay, Denmark Sweden and Finland (with Diskelma). Once again as dates are confirmed we will add them to the gigs page. If you are interested in putting us on or getting involved in any way please contact us via this e-mail.

Thanks to everyone that came to the recent gigs. We have lined up some more gigs for the New Year and the first of those include a return trip up to Scotland that we are all excited about, as ever the details are on the gigs page.

In the near future we will be publishing details of a short European Tour we are in the process of planning for next year. The new 7’’ has been sent for press and more details will be available soon.

A quick update on the upcoming gigs, unfortunately the gig in London on 05/12/08 has been cancelled by the promoter. We'll be back up in London in the New Year and we'll post the details once we have them. The next gigs are with GBH in Brighton on 06/12/08 followed by Southampton on the 14/12/08. We are also sorting out a trip up to Scotland in the New Year as well.

'War With No End' is almost completed and we will be publishing more details on this space very soon. As previously mentioned it’s coming together well and sounding vicious but as ever it always takes longer than anticipated to complete because of everyone’s other commitments.

We have confirmed a few more gigs between now and Xmas in Bristol, London, Brighton and Southampton please see the gigs page for details and come along and say hello if you can.

During September we have been busy recording the next 7''. The recording is now complete so it's now just a case of mixing. We are all very pleased with the results so far.

The 7'' will be entitled 'War With No End' and it'll consist of four new raging tracks. It's already sounding brutal and once we have the mix finished we are confident it'll be the best thing we have done, but then we would say that... more news on the next update.

Other news is that we have some more gigs confirmed, details on the gigs page. Check out the flyer for London on the 17/09/08.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Fuk Reading gig over the Bank Holiday weekend and gave us such a great reception, another eventful Reknaw production so thanks to Risky, Bev and Austen for their efforts.

Since the last update we have been busy working on finishing new material for the next 7''. We are recording in September and are all excited with the songs so far, no dramatic changes just more of the same - but better! No fuss, no mess just pure impact... more information when we have actually recorded the songs.

We have some more gigs confirmed which are on the gigs page, we are also organising a couple more. We unfortunately had to turn down a few gigs and events recently due to prior commitments but please still get in touch if you are interested in us playing as we always try and work something out if at all possible.

Another long overdue update as I had far more interesting things to do! We have played some great gigs recently. Particularly fun were the 3 we did with Diskelma who are a great band - check out their new 'Fun Is Over' LP. We have a few more gigs confirmed including playing the Saturday of the Fuk Reading festival on the 23/08/08 please see the gig page for details.

The slow grinding march to the recording studio continues...but the good news is we have 5 raging new tracks that are ready to be recorded. Once we have finished working on a couple more we will be looking to get into the studio before the end of the summer, it's sounding good and all being well we will be releasing a new 7'' before the year is out.

‘Black Ways Of War’ from the Liberation 7’’ is featured on the Angry Scenes 3 compilation CD please see here for further details. We have a few of these CD's available so send us e-mail if you are interested.

At some point in the near future in the spirit of direct DIY you will be able to buy all our releases plus T-shirts, etc direct from us on this site but in the meantime please e-mail us and we'll sort something out, cheers.

We've have been busy rehearsing and continuing to write some new material. The tracks are sounding brutal and we are going to be playing some of it at the upcoming gigs. Unfortunately we are not playing London on the 03/05/08 but will be playing the Scumfest benefit gig on the 09/05/08. After that we have some gigs with the mighty Diskelma from Finland, sadly due to work /life we can't do the whole tour but we are playing the first weekend with them. Also we will be playing at the Snottingham Punk Crime Capital, as the Nottingham punx picnic is now called, in June with Cress and Oi Polloi amongst others check out the website for details, it looks like a great bill. See the gigs page for details.

We now have new T-shirts incl. a new double-sided Liberation design with Sonia's awesome artwork on the front and back. We also have more of the original Cop design from the demo/7'' cover. Also we have a variety of patches. Pictures up on the site soon. If you want one T-shirts are £6.00 + P&P. Drop us a line and we'll work something out. The shopping cart thing is on hold at the moment so it’s the old fashioned way all the way!

We have almost sold out of T-shirts and will be printing more plus some with a new design very soon, details on here once we have them. We are continuing to write for the next 7'' and will be recording once we have a few more tracks finished.

Other news is that we are working on recording another 7''. We have some new material written that we'll be playing alongside the old tunes at the upcoming gigs and we are working on some more at the moment. We are looking at recording sometime in the next few months.

In the meantime we still have copies of both the self/titled and Liberation 7''s but unfortunately have sold out of the compilation 7''. We also still have a limited number of the Angry Scenes compilation CD, and the CDR demo. Please e-mail for details if you’re interested.

Another long overdue update, firstly the Southampton gig on Sunday 16/12/07 has been moved to a different venue, details on the gigs page. Regrettably we have had to pull out of the Boston gig on Dec. 22/12/07 but it is still going ahead so if you were going go along anyway and check out Whole In The Head.

We now have copies of the self-titled 7'' released on Tadpole and it’s available from us for sale/trade. We think the demo tracks sound even better on the vinyl so if you liked the CDR demo spoil yourself and get a copy, we don't think you’ll be disappointed!

We are in the process of arranging some more UK dates and looking to go back to mainland Europe in the Spring, probably Holland, Germany and maybe Belgium. We also will be back in the studio in the New Year to record a new 7’’ and some tracks for some other projects. We’ll publish more news as these plans slowly take shape.

Thanks to everyone that came to Snottingham and Scumfest gigs and to the promoters for inviting us to play and making it happen. Also apologies to anyone who tried to come to the Streatham gig it was unfortunately cancelled at late notice by the promoters SDLC as there was a problem with the venue. Next gig is with the Subhumans in Southampton on the 28/06/07, details on the gig page.

We are really pleased that Tadpole records have offered to put out our first demo as a 7''. It'll have all the songs, artwork from the CDR plus a slightly reworked cover. This should be out at some point over the summer. We also have a few other things planned for the later in the year and naturally will publish the details here as soon as they are confirmed.

We have now sold out of the 'Same Shit, Different Day' compilation 7''. If you are looking for a copy try Whole In The Head as they may have some left. There are still some t-shirts and the new ‘Liberation’ 7’’ available please e-mail for details.

We had a great time on the tour with Visions Of War in France. A big thanks to them and our respective drivers, Mermouille and Nick for efforts above and beyond the call of duty. Also cheers to all the gig promoters for looking after us and all the other bands and everyone who came to the gigs, it was much appreciated and we had a blast.
