Louder Than War

“UK Decay have never sounded better, with Ed Branch’s bass power perfectly complemented by the invigorating drumming of Raymondo, providing the tightest rhythm platform for the unique sound of Spon’s guitar and biting intensity of Abbo’s vocals. The production is simply outstanding…more

“As then, the four of Luton, offer to the people the unmistakable mix dark-based post-punk, gothic rock, punk, punk positive, stinging and poisonous neurotic and sharp as ever.
