The Puncturists - 55

  

  Here's a life affirming little tune about embracing growing older that went down well on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show.

  It's by Yorkshire-based, female-fronted garage punk band The Puncturists (https://www.facebook.com/thepuncturists). They feature a line up of Gail Townsend (Vocals), Martin Gregory (Drums), Pat Crawford (Guitar and Vocals) & Dale Farrow (Bass and Vocals) and this song is about "when someone tells you that you get to a certain age and you shouldn't try new things because you're "too old for that nonsense" tell them to stuff it! This song is Gail telling those who doubted her taking up vocals in a band at the age of 55 to stuff it!"

  It's the first single off the band's upcoming album, I'm Not Alright. It's available via Dead Swan Records : https://deadswanrecords.bandcamp.com/track/55-single

  It's called 55...
