The Punk/Rock/Ska band The Pints are a trio hailing from Brisbane, Australia. The Pints formed in 2005 and have toured nation wide, they have supported bands such as; Dropkick Murphys, Sick Of It All, The Adicts, Anti Nowhere League and Slick 46. Their latest contribution to the music world has received nation wide airplay. "The White Plague" is an amazing fast and furious album containing plenty of hammering drums, infectious guitar riffs and energetic punk raw lyrics. The Pints fuse Punk/Rock/Ska music generating unique tunes with influences of NOFX, Bad Religion, Lars Fredrickson and the Bastards and The Vandals.

To Further Economy You Kill Off Your Country, kick starts the album with furious drumming, guitar riffs and chanting lyrics.

Americannottakeover has a bass riff intro, leading into a ska drumbeat, infused with punk rock, distorted guitar riffs and brilliant lyrics about how Americanized Australia has become.
"If you got what we want we'll take it the American way."

One Month Retirement a voice for the working class, with intense bass riffs, infectious guitar riffs and solid drumming! "Whats the point when your not so free, worked to the bone then to a nursing home."

Golden Shower has Oi's, humorous lyrics to chant along with and infectious guitar riffs, love this tune! "She likes mutilation he likes to get pissed on, each to their own don't do that shit around me."

Greed Hate & Power, machine gun drumming intro, short loud and fast tune with chanting lyrics.
"It’s time to turn the tide and stand up and fight"

You Can't Hug Your Children With Nuclear Arms this was the first single off the album, with loaded guitar riffs, a chant along lyrics and slammin’ drums.
"Nuclear arms embrace us all don't be fooled these hugs aren't warm,"

The White Plague is definitely an album that belongs in a handy place in your Punk Music Collection. The Pints are a band that is consistently working on new material with another album to be released maybe later this year or early next year. They are a band that we will all definitely hear from in future times as their reputation for energetic live performances and their talent of producing brilliant punk music and growing support should see them go far. Hard to believe that these guys are still officially unsigned, what is this saying about punk music in Australia!

Check out The Pints arsenal of punk music!
