Band brings back punk
Let's face facts here: Punk has died in the mainstream music scene. However, everyone knows punk died out before in the early 80's and then popped up again in the mid 90's with the emergence of Green Day, Rancid and later Blink-182. So it was no surprise that punk died off again and was replaced with the emo, screamo and hardcore bands of today.
There seems to be hope for the future of punk and that hope comes in the form of Sunday Warfare. Anyone reading this would probably be asking “what makes these guys any different from other punk bands?” Well the answer to that is age.
New trends come from younger crowds and Sunday Warfare is just graduating high school. The band features Cam on guitar, Shawn on bass, Sebastian on drums and Scott on guitar, with all the members taking part in the vocals. The guys got together for the first time in early 2005 and started jamming without a drummer to get a feel for what kind of music they would like to play. Sebastian joined in November, and Sunday Warfare was officially born.
Influenced heavily by NoFx, Hostage Life and Shotgun Rules has also helped these guys bounce through a variety of different styles in their music ranging from the all too familiar fast punk zest heard in “Skydiving on the Moon” and a slower more melodic sound heard in “Stranglehold Hearts,” both of which can be heard on Myspace.
Lyrically the guys strive to write political focused music.
“There are a lot of things we see wrong with society so we feel that since we're not taken seriously enough to go up to parliament and complain about shit there, we can start with music,” said Scott. “Our song “Fight War” is a message about exactly the name, fighting war, and was written in the wake of the Iraq-American war.”
In August of '06, Sunday Warfare played their very first show in Hamilton at a battle of the bands, an odd place to begin, and won first place earning them studio time to record a three song demo, which is pretty damn good for their very first show. Since then Sunday Warfare have shared the stage with Shiny Toy Guns, A Soap Opera Coma and Boardertown as well as playing in Sarnia, Strathroy and Tillsonburg (where they played to a crowd of only three people because the show was cancelled but played regardless). Sunday Warfare will be hitting the stage again on January 20 at the Embassy, so check them out if you'd like to get your socks rocked-off by a really good band.
If you can't make it out to the show then check them out on Myspace where you can listen to their three song demo and have a look at their other up-coming shows here in London.
