The middle-aged masters of anarchy and destruction who nevertheless pay careful adherence to the printed manual during the construction of Ikea furniture. They are the only band that truly speaks for a generation. Their debut album We Are The Dads! contains songs about pottering in outhouses (In Me Shed), the ignorance of the medical profession and females in general (Man Flu), the lack of an adequate stock replenishment process in the local Tesco (Sell Out) and curry-related indigestion (Burn Burn Burn) - amongst other important contemporary topics. The track Gaye Advert’s Eyes, an homage to the bass playing 70s punk pin-up, has already been described as 'Genius’ by TV Smith and was played on Tom Robinson’s BBC introducing show at some daft hour in the early morning.
More recently, the band released the Retail Therapy EP, which features four new songs, including the IKEA-inspired anthem, I Can't Get It Up, the video for which you can watch below.
PUNKS NOT DAD are carefully dismantling the music scene and storing the pieces somewhere safe. After all - as they say themselves, “You never know when it might come in handy”.
