Officer Down

Hi, how are you?

All good

How would you personally describe the band?

Musically the band is like pennywise, strike anywhere and leftover crack all bundled up and a bit of public enemy thrown in for good measure!!

How’d you come up with the name?

Alot of people ask if we got it from the Stampin Ground song and the answer is NO!! haha its because of our general hate for the boys in blue!

If you were stranded on a desert island (and somehow had a music player available) what is the one album you'd want with you.

Thats way to hard to choose, can i take a compilation that i made with all my favourite bands on? or is that not an option

How has the punk scene changed since you first started? Is it better/worse or just the same?

Think it depends where you go! Where we are based (Evesham) the punk scene was great when we first started out playing in other bands but now its dead, thats why we never play our home town!!

Whats your favourite song to play live/favourite place to play live?

I dont have a favourite song i just enjoy playing the set as a whole. as for favourite place to play, probably anywhere overseas the shows abroad are loads better

Tell the readers five facts about the band / band members they will not already know

1. Although we hate them, one of us have never killed a cop!
2. We like to party
3. Our drummer is useless at everything apart from drumming and singing
4. We like to party
5. ?

You're invisible for a day...what do you do?

Go to the biggest drum shop and steal some equiptment for our drummer haha his drumkit is balls and he cant afford a new one.

Plans, gigs and releases for the rest of 2008?

Yea 5 tracks are coming out as part of a comp on tent city records (usa) next month, and we have plans for a full length in Nov 08, we have already toured europe this year so just odd gigs most weekends round the uk for the rest of this year! 2009 is the big year!

Any extra comments?

thanks
