I only came across these back in April this year, when their set was one of the highlights of the Manchester Punk Festival. Melodic hardcore 3 piece from Austria, in the same vein as The Queers and Screeching Weasel. Rama-a-lamma pedal to the metal, no frills, no fills, 2 minute pop-punk songs are their speciality. Like many European punk bands on the circuit, you’d think they were American/Canadian. Been around for 20 years and currently on their 10 bass player, they originally started out as The Cretins, but changed for legal reasons in 2007 to DeeCRACKS. 5 albums under their belt to date.

They are my favourite Austrian punk band (actually only one) and I think they should be yours too!
You can catch them in the Empress Ballroom on Thurs 3rd Aug 14:05 – 14:45
