As much as any 18 year old punk upstarts, the older guys who've been in half a dozen bands and have been gigging for years can be just as exciting. They've honed their skills and they're still pushing it because it's what they love.
AnyMinuteNo (https://www.facebook.com/AnyMinuteNo) are all veterans of the Swindon scene, and since they got together, they've been touring almost non-stop, supporting bands like Eastfield, The Subhumans, Riskee and the Ridicule and Wonk Unit. When AnyMinuteNo don't have a gig, Singer/guitarist Jeeves, Lead guitarist Paul (and sometimes drummer Alan) are gigging with their cover band playing "Recycled Punk Rock" as The Useless Eaters. Anyminuteno's lineup is completed by Jeeves' brother Pete, who fronted the sublime 2 Sick Monkeys (https://2sickmonkeys.bandcamp.com/), on bass.
AnyMinuteNo's debut album Another Truth Dies was self released in late 2023 and features some great music that draws from the 70s and 80s punk scenes without sounding dated. These are songs that have been worked over and perfected for years.
This record is hard work made good. It's practised and perfected, it's honest DIY punk. And in a world of quick and dirty, it's definitely a unique listen!
Tickets are still available to catch them supporting The Subhumans and Eastfield on 18th of October in Corby at https://www.wegottickets.com/event/613581 and the record is available on cd or digital download on Bandcamp (https://anyminuteno.bandcamp.com/album/another-truth-dies).
This song's called Playing God...
