Formally
known as The Buggers, they formed back in 1994 - a product of
boredom and frustration in music and the local scene at the
time. Straight away the idea was to write & play music
that reflected ourselves, that is fast, upbeat and saturated
with energy. Such an idea easily transformed into an explosive
& addictive live show. We played all kinds of venues with
a variety of bands in and around the midlands, but found a
natural affiliation with punk and alternative scenes, which
seemed to both share & feed off energy and attitude of The
Buggers. After many gigs with bands such as Snuff, 59 Times
The Pain, One Car Pile-Up, Southport, Capdown, Vanilla Pod
plus many local bands, The Buggers got into the studio and
recorded our first demo. It was used mainly to get gigs - but
it did get reviewed and won us a runner-up place in a
competition run by a Birmingham paper. Soon enough this solid
base of shows and constant rehearsals allowed our capabilities
& confidence to grow. A mass of new material followed and
we settled into a deeper and more melodic sound that was more
comfortably the Buggers. In January 2001 we were voted obe of
the best unsigned bands in the UK in the Kerrang! readers
poll. This seemed the perfect time to release our first single
'Here Comes The Times' was released in April 2001 and was
subsequently nominated as Single Of The Week in Kerrang!. In
March of 2002 we signed toIn At The Deep end Records a fast up
and coming label in the punk/hardcore scene of the UK, we
recorded 6 new tracks at Pristine studio in Nottingham for our
first release on this label which is due to hit the world in
the summer of 2002
