COCK SPARRER„Last year we released our first studio album for 10 years. To celebrate the release of ‘FOREVER’ we decided to do a small run of club shows in the UK. We usually only play about 10 times a year so the shows are normally large clubs or festivals, that way everyone gets a chance to see us. But there’s something special about playing smaller clubs. The atmosphere is amazing. It’s more intimate. It’s more PUNK ROCK. It’s where we came from. We knew we could never do just 1 small club so we booked 9 shows in venues ranging from 300 – 500 capacity and had such a great time that we want to do it again. This year we’re taking it back to the streets of Germany and Denmark and will be booking some great clubs so our European friends can get to see the band in a cool club instead of a big festival. We can’t wait to see you at the bar.“This Means War! A Short Story
While everybody was celebrating the birth of punk 40 years ago, five guys from the low lands (Belgium and Holland) hooked up to form a brand new band known as This Means War! They have one thing in common: the love for punk rock. Far from rookies, they played in numerous bands before such as Discipline, Hidden Guns, Superhero Status and Convict. For several months in 2016, they locked themselves up in their rehearsal room and made plans to conquer the world with hard hitting punk rock anthems. This Means War! is not interested in reinventing punk rock music. They aim to blend their heroes (Cock Sparrer, Anti Flag, Old Firm Casuals, Social Distortion, Noi!se, Street Dogs, Clash) and give the mixture their own unique flavor. This Means War! combines Rock ’n Roll melodies with punk riffs and lyrics. That’s not always easy, but these punks rise above the challenges of it all, proving their experience will propel them forward. They are hungry like a bunch of wild coyotes and ready to hit the stage! From now on This Means War! is in your blood, 24/7.
