Paul My -- Backskin Bass

With many years of pure punk oi oi, a history of bands behind them like
Sista Fista, Caffeine Bomb, Breast, Moldy Cabbage, Hate the Anti Ambulance, and Spit like This. . . .
"Punk & oi was the Music we all grew up with so it;s easy to play that sound, "we never sat there and said let's be a 'Punk Band,' it was just All we knew." However they like to call themselves "Modern Oi" !

A history & collection of olde punk oi oi sound have for the first time together as UK Vacant. They have written and recorded some very fine music without the trappings of Sista Fista, formed in 2008 as UK Vacant
A more Intense sound has been born. Deep, Intense thoughts and ideas, producing some very strong songs,
Expressing strong powerful lyrics and emotions to make people realize and express how bad this world is getting today. . .as they say in their songs/
Today, this is our time, and times are pretty shit, all sick of taxes, & modern society, we all feel like sticking up the 2 fingers at everyone who misunderstand and misunderstood.
Rant against these so called martyr suicide bombers, sing/write about antiterrorism and the poor victims of innocent Muslims being blamed.
Make people realize what this World is coming t.
Make everyone realize they're sick of working their balls off day by day just to hand it all back to the government.
Sick of being told what to do and how to do it, this is our fucking world.
Expressing in other ways like songs to piss off the coppers,& pigs!!, which they describe, is especially a Live Performance Favorite.!
Wank & the Illuminatis shared hatred for the Church, not anti religion just anti establishment and in this particular case.. happens to be The Church. Strong words, strong opinions that have got to be heard, and what other good way is there to do it.?
Of course, by expressing in the music !
Everyone has to get a point across I can't agree of a better way myself to express it, and it has to be heard, my personal favorite of the songs I heard was "THIS SOCIETY
UK Vacant does not buy into any of that Nazi shit,
"Anyone coming to us looking for a blame on race, has entirely missed the
point." We won't change the World..no doubt we'll be brought down by 'the system.' If we get loud, but we'll have a good
fucking go at it and we won't make it easy for them either!!" -- UK
They all contribute with the song writing, staying as a 3-piece band with the history of Sista Fista behind them. A brotherly bond had formed as no one else would fit in! Making more noise with the three of them as they did once when five.
During the first rehearsal, they came up with two songs, then that message to themselves was clear. . . ."Playtime was over!" Within two weeks, they had written five songs by the third week, they went to the studio, recorded three songs.
"Recording
a song as soon as you write and learn it, really catches the moment of
how it should sound, raw, rough and nothing but heart" --Wank Sinatra.
After the three tracks were recorded, They joined the myspace world, which is where we found them, in June 08 at www.myspace.com/ukvacant
They were soon to realize how the whole music scene had
totally changed,"Every one downloads songs these days so there is no
need for record company's and no need to censor all your songs" !
So
knowing that what ever they were to record was going to end up being
downloaded/file shared for fuck all,They started up their own company "Flange Records." So they have the full control of what they can do, and I don't blame them!!
The demo contains 7 songs:
"This Society. "
This was the first song recorded by UK-VACANT, Its about how they see all the shit going on
in the world and Today’s society, Creating
Pure Aggression and Anger into a punk tune was a good move, as it
produced some excellent sounds and noise!
“Out on the lash it's a Saturday night, you're looking around, you think
you're alright, but you're going home in a box tonight, 'coz the lads in the pub,
are up for a fight.” Very deep and dark What an excellent first Eva song! Wow..."Watching Me?"
Ranting to the world about the eyes everywhere, it's all
fucked up, freedom's gone .. oi oi !
Exploding aggression banging out the vibe. Pure Anarchy!"Never Change...
Oi oi oi !
Plenty of oi oi here,! This is about
sticking up the two fingers UP at everyone who misunderstood, and who misjudged...double chorded offensive pure punk in one hit,."Martyr
The one which will get their ass kicked but who gives a shit
'coz they don't!....The song against the anti-terrorism...Broken hearts. Broken dreams, tThey Blow themselves to
smithereens...The awesome what the fuck oi oi Punk aggression sound you all need.
" Who the Fuck are You?
Don't tell us what to do! Sick of working their balls off
every fucking day, but we have to .. what the fuck? Don't do this.
.Don't do that...well, this is their
say, and they have written some very true and understanding lyrics which
everyone will agree with apart from the government!
Listen to it...you will
agree."Start a Riot // Fuck the Pigs

favorite to their fans full of pure hatred right from the start.. Every one

Fucking awesome first tracks to have reviewed, and a bunch of fun guys to have worked with on this.
