Line Up
The Band for Disease Control and Prevention The Story so far in 10 easy to follow parts
(i) x-Drill(ers) steal a vocalist and come up with impossibly long name just to get a unique internet URL
(ii) No guitar solos are used in the making of the album – hey why not sometimes dispense with 4/4 and traditional song structures too.
(iii) A single, some national airplay (thanks Steve Lamacq), international airplay (USA, most of Europe – still working on Australia) - thanks to all those stations out there.
(iv) Sony Pictures want $5000 to licence a sample from their film The Fisher King but won’t provide Jeff Bridges’ personal number. Sod the snotty legal executives and their non-disclosure agreements.
(v) So fuck that we’ll make our own, and call Phil Davis (Quadrophenia and shed loads more besides) to tell us he’s “only the fucking devil sweet heart”
(vi) Phil calls wrong person back and scares the shit out of someone by telling them he’s the devil in a scary voice before putting the phone down.
(vii) Let’s cover a Blondie classic in our own way and release a single and video for it
(viii) Tommy Kessler (Blondie guitarist) LOVES IT !!
(ix) Number 2 in the Festive ’79 Poll of the year beating Sex Pistols, Clash, Stranglers and more besides. – Branny is still a hard to shift bastard.
(x) Convince Red Helmet from the legendary Punishment of Luxury to join our ship of fools.
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.
