The Relitics are a punk band from Durham. Formed in late 2014 with Mick Hall (guitar/vocals), Carol Nichol (lead vocals), Neil Tunstall (bass/backing vocals) and Vince Ward (drums), The Relitics play punk with a heavy '70s influence and combine political lyrics with driving guitars. NE Volume magazine said of their debut album, "‘Bricks and Mortals’ provides a dynamic commentary on the current political discourse that is at the forefront of many of society’s anxieties today. The band have not only provided listeners with a great rock album, but have also offered a compelling statement on the state of the country that is sure to linger in the minds of many, long after the final chords of the concluding track, ‘Drift’ have rang out." Since their formation The Relitics have supported The Vibrators, MDC, Ed Banger and the Nosebleeds, Chelsea, north east Oi! favourites Gimp Fist and will support Drongos For Europe later in 2016.
