About Us
I’m Steve, 38, bassist based in Fife. We're about to start a band rooted in punk, goth, and post?punk — starting with covers and moving into originals if the chemistry’s right. Although if we go down the covers route...I still think that sounds fun.
Martin is on drums: solid, reliable, and happy playing with or without a click. He’s a genuinely great guy and easy to work with.
In the process of trialing Guitarists.
We’ve been really touched by the interest from younger musicians, but we’re ideally looking for people 30+. Not a hard rule — just that we’ve got families, day jobs, and lives that don’t always sync with the late?teens/early?20s lifestyle. No other restrictions.

Life Stuff (Full Disclosure)
- I’m a dad to a brilliant 3?year?old — fully committed to rehearsals, but life occasionally throws curveballs.
- We’re reliable, realistic, and drama?free.
- Our last band ended amicably; we’re gutted but ready to get back out there.
---
Commitment
- One practice a week + gigs.
- We both work professional day jobs, so we’re looking for people who take music seriously but aren’t into drugs or illegal nonsense. If that’s your scene, we’re not your people.
- Keep it clean, creative, and fun.

Why Work With Us
- Friendly, driven, and committed to improving.
- Organised — happy to sort rehearsals and keep communication smooth.
- Respectful and inclusive: gender, race, religion, sexuality — none of that matters. Good vibes and mutual respect do.
- If you’re more advanced, we’ll put in the work to match your level.

What We’re About
We thrive in a band setting and we’re hungry to grow. Punk is a brilliant genre, and post?punk/goth is basically spicy punk — and we’re absolutely here for it.
We want to play the music we love, meet others who feel the same, and get out gigging. If you fancy a jam, let’s make it happen.
Get your sunglasses on — as The Cramps say, “We’ll look sharp”… or maybe we’ll look a bit weird and bump into things. That’s half the fun.
