The Scumbrians - This Is Me

 

  The last time Whitehaven band The Scumbrians appeared on this blog was shortly after I chanced upon them in a pub in Lancaster and the song I posted, Throw Em Away, went down a storm with some of you guys (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/the-scumbrians-throw-em-away.html). Since then they've gained plenty of new fans, in no small part due to their raucous live shows (some of you will have seen them at last year's Rebellion Festival. They went down a storm and have been invited back this year).

  When I posted Throw Em Away, I mentioned they were about to release their debut album. This time around I can tell you that they're busy working away on album number 2 and that they've just released a song from it.

  To keep up to date with the album's progress and to check out live dates, give them a like on Facebook.... https://www.facebook.com/scumbrians/

  Their new song contains all the snotty exuberance that should be a prerequisite for a young punk band (but which too many newer bands claiming to be punks lack). Not only does it have the fuck you attitude, it's a great singalong too. I'm looking forward to the album!

  This Is Me.....

The Scumbrians - Throw em Away.

   

  The Scumbrians are a young band from Whitehaven, Cumbria who went down very well when I saw their set in Lancaster a couple of months ago. Since then they've been busy putting the finishing touches to their debut album and they'll be unleashing it next week (29 Oct). They've also won their way through to the final of Cumbria's Battle Of The Bands competition, the final takes place in January and they'll be hoping to land the £1000 prize in order to splash out on new equipment.

  The line up of the band features Luke Norman (vocals), Jake McAllister (guitar), Kristie Mason (bass) and Ryan Hodgson (drums). Give them a like and get more info on Facebook..... https://www.facebook.com/scumbrians/

  Definitely a band to watch, they recently supported Bad Manners and the new album is sure to bring them to the attention of a wider audience. They sing about the stuff that's going on around them, mixing up serious commentary with songs that might just see them sticking their tongues into their cheeks (if you've heard the track Jimmy Saville you'll know what i mean!). The song you'll find below is a modern day call to wrap up the rockets entitled Throw Em Away......
