HEADSTICKS!With an ever growing fanbase at their side, Headsticks are reaching new heights with their self proclaimed ‘Revolutionary Punk Roots Rock’n’Roll’ which has cross genre appeal seeing the band gaining endless plaudits from pillars of the Folk/Roots, Post Punk, Punk, and even the rock and blues fraternities.Since late 2012 the band have relentlessly gigged and recorded and their hard work is now well and truly coming to fruition with their albums and their live performances receiving rave reviews from all corners of the musical spectrum as anthemic choruses, barbed lyrics, irresistible riffs, and uplifting beats are combined with a wry sense of humour, to deliver social commentary to encapsulate the spirit of this unique band.Whether it’s the full throttle, heart pounding stompers, the anthemic singalongs, or the haunting acoustic ballads, Headsticks deliver an experience like no other band, built on honesty, integrity, bloody hard work, and a passion for what they believe.
“Riffs to die for. The fury is evident from the off.... They unashamedly sing their messages with the devotion of religious fervour more often than not accompanied by a powerful and no nonsense Punk inspired soundtrack. Smack bang in the middle of the ballpark where you’ll find players such as The Clash, The Levs, Ferocious Dog and Sham 69."- At The Barrier
Abdoujaparov!
Formed by Les Carter (aka Fruitbat) in 1998 after the breakup of Carter USM,Abdoujaparov are named after a former Tour De France cyclist. The band's musical foundations are the joyous and shambolic influences of 1977 Punk Rock & New Wave, but there is so much more than that under the covers.
Abdoujaparov are Les Carter (Lead Vocals & Guitar) - Richy Crockford (Bass & Backing Vocals) - Adam Bomber (Drums & Backing Vocals) - Jon Barnard (Lead Guitar).
The band has toured worldwide, racking up over 600 gigs, from tiny clubs to big festivals!
“Abdoujaparov bring the fun, spirit, singalong lines and , of course, the lead singer of 90s legends Carter USM – Les ‘Fruitbat’ Carter. He’s the man having most fun by miles and is endearing, funny and a good old fashioned frontman.” - Gary Trueman
— Devolution Magazine
“Watching Abdoujaparov live is the closest I'll ever get to seeing Carter. Love them.” - Jim Bob
