Spanner has been mixing politics and pleasure since around 2000, and
we aim to still be at it when it's time for dancing on the ruins of the empire.
We're taking bookings for the after party now! Our sound is a small contribution
to the soundtrack to revolution and we hope to inspire both much dancing
and more direct action. We play militant, ska'd up punk that's not just for
entertaining "alternative" consumers or being part of the illusion of rebellion.
Punk for us has to be more than noise and more than a hairdo. We want punk
and punks to be part of a community in opposition and resistance to this
murderous system which leaves everything it touches damaged or dead. We
know that with our creativity and determination we can make a new world,
and punk is about doing it now! We'd also very much like our music to strike
fear into the hearts of capitalists, cops, bosses and politicians everywhere...
if only they could hear the words!

We love meeting DIY bands, gig collectives, subverters, squatters, rebels,
resisters, renegades, revolutionaries and fellow trouble makers from all over.
It reminds us that we are everywhere!!! We are always looking for gigs and
festivals to play, so get in touch if you think you could do with a
Spanner in the mix
