JANUS STARK
The Janus Stark Line-Up 2024 – Scott, Gizz, Dave & Phil
A rock ‘n’ roll program of crashing metal and punk rock guitars with an almost 1960s poppy psychedelia sensibility”; Janus Stark were formed at the same time that lead-singer and six stringer extraordinaire Gizz Butt was also the guitarist for The Prodigy during their height-of-success ‘Fat of the Land’ period, which was a number one album in 38 countries in 1997.
Gizz has also been the former guitarist of English Dogs, U.K. Subs, The Destructors, Fields Of The Nephilim and the Steve Ignorant (Crass) Band amongst others. Regarded as a general all-round Peterborough punk legend, he’s known for melding heavy metal guitars with punk energy and attitude, his style being one of the first creators of the ‘crossover’ genre.
“The punk attitude, the irresistible melodies, the emotional depth, the sharp riffing, the lyrical intelligence and the breath-taking lead playing – it’s all here.” (ZERO TOLERANCE MAGAZINE)
“A great melodic kick up the arse…” (DAVE GROHL and TAYLOR HAWKINS)
“The thing that sets Janus Stark apart from their contemporaries is the fact that Gizz is a shredder… while the lyrics are socially and politically aware, and the riffs crunchy, it’s the melodies that always shine through, they are pure sugar for the soul.” (RPM WEBSITE)

THE STEREOTYPES
New to an Undercover gig
Back playing live now after a long break.
