The rumors are true! what started as a remote, pandemic project between Frank Meyer and JJ Watt and a ten year long deliberation between Rob Cass and JJ has now exploaded into a full, five piece loud as hell rock and roll machine.
Anti-Fashion is here with a batch of original tracks and a line of gigs hitting the road this September, so that you can hear them in all their glory, live and raw. This mini tour is to whet your appetite for an album that is dropping this Autumn via Very Fried artists/cargo.
So, who exactly are Anti-Fashion? well you've probably seen them in some form or other tearing up stages worldwide, but now, they're that collective firepower, into one room.
Rob Cass [Lead vocals] - Brings the front man swagger, sweet but gritty vocals served with acid lyrics honed through his stint in The Midnight Dogs.
JJ Watt [guitar/vocals] - Delivers massive, driving riffs that you know all to well from The Main Grains and The City Kids.
Frank Meyer [guitar/vocals] - Brings that transatlantic punk rock energy and sunshine that never gives up, straight out of The Street Walking Cheetahs, FEAR, and his acclaimed solo projects.
Steve Ward [bass] - Holds down a heavy bass with endless grooves using all of that fretboard to its fullest with a diverse pedigree that includes The Midnight Dogs, RABID and The Hartlands Roots Band.
Kath Edmonds [drums/vocals] - An absolute powerhouse behind that kit that simply wont stop driving the punk engine and energy, just like she does for the sensational Kath and The Kicks.
And the best bit for you guys, is that we arent coming alone! We have assembled a line up that can only be descirbed as a triple threat of pure, un-adulterated rock 'n' roll, with two of the absolute best underground bands in the UK business.
CONTINENTAL LOVERS-
hailing from Nottingham, these guys are your favourite glam-punk reprobates. Described by vive le rock as looking like "the illegitimate sons of Johnny Thunders" they blend trashy high energy hooks with absolute chaotic emotion. If you love big guitars, dangerous swagger and pure punk 'n' roll attitude, they are going to steal your heart and probably your beer. Continental Lovers are Joe Maddox [lead vocals/guitar] Ben Webster [lead guitar] Keri Kaysen [bass guitar/backing vocals] Bish Bishop [drums]
THE DUKES OF BORDELLO-
Thumping high-octane, down 'n' dirty troubadours from the wrong side of town. Driven by a thunderous double bass attack, loud riffs, and pure psychobilly-triggerd rock energy, the dukes takes no prisoners. Except massive rhythm sections, anthemic roars, and zero mercy. The Dukes of Bordello are Andy Barrott [guitar/vocals] Sion Bailey [bass/vocals] and Craz Taylor [drums].
Joining us for our gig at The studio Hartleppol are
LEADERS OF MEN -
A hard hitting three piece local punk band delivering fast, loud, no nonsense punk rock. Expect big energy, catchy hooks and a live set built to get the gig goin'! Jack Swalwell [bass/vocals] Lucas McCann [guitar/vocals] Max Foreman [drums]
