LOWER CLASS BRATS:
Like a festering sore or a criminal rap sheet, the Lower Class Brats won't go away.
Formed in Austin, Texas in 1995, the Brats hit the scene like a gob of Lone Star loogie and have been spitting like cobras ever since. Brazenly unapologetic and frightfully in-your-face, the band's knuckle-busting brand of safety-pinned street punk has launched a legacy of hostility.
After scraping and stealing (or worse) to release a handful of broke-budget, seven-inch singles, the Brats finally issued their rabidly devoured 1997 debut album, "Rather Be Hated Than Ignored." A promise as much as a threat, "Hated" became a rallying cry for Austin's underground punk scene and served as marching orders for the germinating LCB Army. It also became an Oi! classic.
Sixteen years and multiple albums later (to say nothing of the untold beers, drugs, fights and vomit) the Brats and their tattooed Army remain a growing worldwide disease. Tours across Mexico, Europe, North America, Canada, Japan and elsewhere left a wake of wreckage and won countless new LCB recruits who proudly wear the band's clockwork skull mascot on tattered jackets and deep in their skin.
Today, to the great dismay of polite society, the Brats refuse to slow down or sober up. With new music always ticking like a bomb, the next explosion of chaos, riot and ruin is right around the next piss-stained corner. Consider yourself warned … and invited
BRICKTOP:
Came what was initially a crew, became a band, then a crew. BRICKTOP are a hard hitting straight forward olde tyme hardcore punk band with influences from 70's punk rock and roll, Englands Oi, American Hardcore and American Made Choppers. Wrap that all up with a touch of the Southwest Thug and DIY ethic, behold the Almighty BRICKTOP!
RADIO CRIMES:
Formed in San Fransisco after the demise of Street Punk band the Half Empties, Radio Crimes is the musical outlet of Tattoo Artist Alex Empty. Following closely in the British style of Mod Punk like The Jam and adding touches of melody and Brit Pop, Two Tone Horns & Keyboards, and classic Rock ala The Who it is a travel down the lane of British Pop Culture with a decidedly unabashed American twist.
ALL CITY BOOT BOYS:
A hard working Oi band that have no problem speaking up for the rest of the working class people. Songs about issues most others are scared to touch, against racism and oppression of the working class people. ACBB are true underdogs in a dying culture and are not going without a fight.
The SEX:
After a brief hiatus that included moves around the country, buzzsaw Brit influenced, female fronted The SEX are back to fill a void sorely lacking in the PHX underground. Guitar driven punk & roll designed to kick back a pint & sing along. No Muss. No Fuss. Just Pure Impact!
