Selfish Cunt

Selfish Cunt are a British rock band, part of the post-punk revival. They were formed in early 2003 by main members Martin Tomlinson and Patrick Constable. They are notorious for their highly provocative lyrics, aggressive stage shows, and brutal electronic-influenced rock. They are better known as a live act, rather than listening to their studio recordings, which are generally panned by critics.

Based in Morristown, New Jersey, A Priori achieved a higher level of attention than they were used to after being featured on Shredder Records "A World in Shreds Volume 2" with no less than Jawbreaker, Crimpshrine, and Moral Crux following a few shows supporting Crimpshrine on tour in the NJ/NYC area in the late 1980's.

Billy Duffy

Billy Duffy's guitar heroics have influenced several generations of musicians from opposite sides of the music world. On one hand, Duffy's swirling, psychedelic riffs on early records by the Cult provided a blueprint for gothic rock guitarists; however, when the Cult began to embrace hard rock, heavy metal enthusiasts discovered a new axeman to idolize. But Duffy's rock roots aren't in goth or metal; it was punk. * Born: May 12, 1961 in Manchester, England
* Years Active: 1982-present
* Member of: The Cult

HDQ

HDQ started out playing political Hardcore Punk in the latter half of the 80's, much similar to bands like Anti-System, Anihilated, Insurrection etc, and they released the Hung, Drawn & Quartered 12" in 1985 as well as featuring the song "Take Control" on the "Relying On Us" 7" compilation with bands like Oi Polloi and Stone The Crows.
Later they started playing a more arty\grunge kind of music, which is not so strange as 3 of the members were in Leatherface as well.
