The Extinguishers are a bunch of fucking handsome pimps who'll crash yer town, neck yer pint and go home with your girlfriend, but they'll rock you so hard you won't have time to think, let alone care. What they lack in cleanliness and manner they more than make up for in talent, good looks and sheer charisma. Their unique Ska/Punk/Hardcore mix just has to be heard to be believed. They started in 2003, and spent 2 years in isolation perfecting their skills, finally unleashing the behemoth that is The Extinguishers on the 30th April 2005...
