Bushcraft 

File under “B” for “brilliance” 

Despite what the name suggests, this band is not about whittling a tree into a wooden spoon orwearing hoiked up safari shorts.

If they must be categorized for conversation/press purposes, you might say (as others have done) it's electronic rock, rock with dance/d&b vibe, electronic punk rock, rocktronica with a punk attitude. But don't take my word for it. Have a listen, watch them live, you decide.

The band formed in 2001 with singer Anth, Guitar/vocal Craig and Bassist Rich and started gigging virtually straight away. In 2002 they were recording their first CD, the bedroom sessions. They had various talented drummers lending a hand, until 2003 when they decided to go the way of electronic percussions, enlisting Suko with her Yamaha DTXpress in 2003.

With the new and more permanent line-up, they have toured extensively in the UK and Europe (East and West) with a view to take over the world sometime before Armageddon.

In 2004 they recorded a 4-track EP (Supersonic EP) with producer and musician Tristan Longworth, and in 2005 they recorded a mini-album which will be released yesterday.
