Take one ex-member of The Smears, and now currently of You Want Fox on Drums. Then take one ex-member of Drag The Lake, and now currently of King Of Pigs on Bass. Then add an ex-member of Cape Canaveral on Vox/Guitars and you have Colette, Ben and Gram who go by the name of PUNCH DRUNK. This relatively unknown but very accomplished UK HC band are a definite must for fans of Jawbreaker and their chugging like. Melody, depth, heart, style, it's all here for you to come and find.

Cape Canaveral called it a day in 2006 and Gram had no intentions of playing in a band again, in fact he sold all of his kit bar a couple of guitars!! Fast forward 10 years and he started writing songs again. When the real chance to be in a band with close friends came about, the chance was jumped at.
After some practice time and a handful of gigs under their belt the band went into Moot Group Studios to record a 10 track album in the summer of 2018. The sound is a kick-back to the 90s with an up to date spin. Bands like Jawbreaker, Husker Du, Sugar, Hot Water Music, Texas is the Reason and Buffalo Tom are sure-fire influences whilst hints of Nirvana are there too. The band call themselves a pop punk band but there’s an emo tinge with a punk edge all the way through.
The album is named ‘Sassy’ after the sassy little cat on the cover.(Review from Apathy and Exhaustion, http://apathyandexhaustion.com/exclusive-stream-punch-drunk-sassy-disillusioned-records-just-say-no-to-government-music-records-2019/ )
