i've recently been trying to find bluegrass punk bands and have only found a small handful of what I feel fits the bill. I'll see punk bluegrass descriptions but they often feel like straight up bluegrass. This shit was good. Banjo, violin, distortion, speed... good job.

[Theraptorxx]

Good, innit? Largely because we were all punk in ethos from the first time around (1976/77) and English... good to hear you like it

p.s fine job spike

[Theraptorxx]

It isn't Spike!... he was a roadie then. It was the original band

[taxus65]

he only came to lymo once !!

[larrylove76]

Tune!!!

[richiemaru]

it might be because ollie reed went up to salt creek near lym town city

[Theraptorxx]

Its because its a cover of an old song called 'Salt Creek' and Oliver Reed used to drink in 'Champagne Charlie's' in Lymington...

[SirOllyBolly]

Great stuff!

I can vaguely make out images of Oliver Reed in the background - is that why its called Oliver Reed (goes to salt creek) ?

[Theraptorxx]

Sort of, the images are there because of the song title. A subtle difference, I know!...

[Sphinxpdq]

Nice one.
