Uncle Brian
Biography
If you haven't heard the noise, then it's time you turned the stereo up. In a time of mass made boy bands and teeny bopping popstars, Uncle Brian slashed their way onto the UK music scene with their debut album Barbeque Music on Moon Ska Records in 2000, without stopping to see the smoke and dust rise behind them. The industry hasn't quite been the same since.2003 saw the release of catchy punk rock greatness by this hard-hitting three-piece UK band with the 'It Just Seems Right' EP on 20 Deck Records. It Just Seems Right kicked down the door and spawned the catchy pop punk single
'Postcards'. The 'Postcards' video entered the top 5 on channel P Rock's listings in it's first week as well as the number one spot on Scuzz TV two weeks later. Uncle Brian began to storm the rock circuit with no intentions of slowing down.
The EP went on to catch the steady and loving arm of Uncle Brian's current label Golf Records who re-released it in April 2004. But nothing's ever good enough for Uncle Brian and so their hard work saw the EP snapped up and released in Japan by Pyropit Records with a video for the smash hit 'Cindy Lou' aired in heavy rotation on MTV Japan. The Uncle Brian fever spread through Japan like wildfire and is catching on to the rest of the world in godspeed.
After their countless tours with renowned acts Simple Plan, Mad Caddies, Bowling For Soup, Reel Big Fish, and Wheatus, and knee buckling shows with The Vandals, OPM and Millencolin, Uncle Brian outdid themselves and released their much anticipated second album All The Gear But No Idea in March 2004 on Golf Records. 'All The Gear But No Idea' breaks all boundaries showcasing the creative and diverse side of the band, with melodic chords and fun rifts for songs like 'Willow' and 'Sorry', to the deep, dark, and edgy song 'About My Life'. The album also features the dynamic cover of UK political folk singer Billy Bragg's 80's hit 'A New England' which has been given the thumbs up approval from the man himself.
Mix their regular airplay on BBC Radio 1, add to this the Japanese release of 'All The Gear But No Idea' and Japanese and American tours in the making, stir up generously with punk rock sounds, tattoos and mad cap chaos, and you'll be left with songs you'll always remember and a band you will NEVER forget.
