Band History

The band originally started with Jack, James and Dan, but after a while Jack realised that he can't sing and play the guitar very well at the same time.

So James' little brother Lee was asked to join the band. They have been together since the end of May 2006.

They played their first gig on the 22nd of July at the Mudstock Bike show.

Since then the band have become regular faces on the local scene playing at seemingly every opportunity and really winning over the crowds with their no non-sense punk sensibility.

They may not be everyone's cup of tea but to those who like there music more punk than pop they are without doubt one of Guernsey's top up and coming musical attractions.

The band split in October 2007, but three members went on to form Jax Kull and the Bio-Nightmares a few months later.

Their Favourite Gig

Spat say: "Mudstock, because it was the first gig for all of us, we we're all very nervous. Not long after we got on stage we all loosened up as there was a mosh pit to the first song."
