INTESTINES - Life In A Cardboard Box EP 1980

Formed in 1978 in Bournemouth by Harry (vocals), John (guitar), Sid (bass), Rob (drums) and they were the first Punk combo in this City and this is their classic EP on Alternative Capitalists. The band is known for their simple, amateurish sound that combines the aggressive energy of punk with a certain melodiousness. The four were part of the first wave of Punk in the UK and made a name for themselves through their energetic live performances and provocative lyrics. A few members played after the break in 1981 (reformed 2008) later in Butcher. The band's lyrics often addressed everyday life, social injustices and the frustrations of youth. They were part of the classic D.I.Y. ethic and often released their music independently. The Life In A Cardboard Box EP from 1980 is a striking example of the raw and unpolished sound of the British Punk of the time. The EP contains three tracks that reflect the essence of the Punk movement while highlighting the band's unique characteristics. Fantastic KBD record which the band captures both the anger and despair of the youth of the time with their haunting lyrics. The Intestines were certainly not the most famous band of their time, but their music leaves a lasting impression and shows how diverse and expressive Punkrock can be.
