D.I.Y Dub Punk band, started in Manchester 07. 5 piece band with political agenda. For listeners of bands like aos3, P.A.I.N, inner terrestrials, headjam, king tubby, zounds. A lot of the band’s lyrics and actions are political. They often play benefit gigs to raise money or awareness for good issues such as anarchism, animal rights, veganism, human rights, anti-war, anti-racism, anti-facism and the environment. We found each other through a mutual interest in punk, 90's freeparty reggae, reggae, dub, folk and ideological ranting... Call it Anarchoskadubpunkyfolkyreggae (All one word). Aside of the music, which you are free to dance to, heckle, fold your arms to, whatever... We feel that the 'punk scene' has always been a place to learn, chat shit, form critiques, get confused and listen to some dutty beats. The band has served as a platform from which we can share our ideas and meet other folk who wish to see the annihilation of capitalist social relations! We see possibility, beyond bills of rights, absolute freedom to earth and beast. We built this mother fucker, now lets see it burn! We choose to do-it-ourselves, and we work with labels that share the principles of D.I.Y. This way we can maintain control over our music and decide where we want to go with it. We organise our own gigs and tours, if you would like to invite us to play anywhere, please get in touch – autonomads@gashcollective.com. Cheers for reading this, and please get in touch. See you soon, at a gig, in a club, in a field or on the streets!
