Gram Blackwell (Cape Canaveral) teams up with Colette (The Smears/You Want Fox) and Ben (Drag The Lake/King Of Pigs) to create the wonderful Punch Drunk.

After a fateful evening where Gram played a few songs on an acoustic guitar at their place (Colette and Ben are married btw) a rehearsal was booked and the rest is history …. And the product of that history is the band’s debut release Sassy.

The band’s 10 track debut brings forth tantalising flavours from the likes of Husker Du, Sugar, Jawbreaker, Moving Targets, Lemonheads, Buffalo Tom, Texas Is The Reason ..... to produce some great, melodic and powerful tunes

As Gram says ‘Most of all this has been about having a laugh with friends. If the by-product is us having a few people enjoy what we do, then that's all the better’.

Sassy – JSNTGM 037 – available on CD and download

PUNCH DRUNK: Sassy: CS/CD
September 26, 2019

Although the bands used to describe Punch Drunk’s sound include Hot Water Music, Hüsker Dü, and Jawbreaker I am adding The Doughboys, All Systems Go!, and Red Collar to the list. In fact, the first two— obviously connected groups—of those three latter bands were my first ports of call when considering comparisons to Punch Drunk. There are some really strong songs here and the highs are much more prevalent than the few lows. Although on a further plus side, having played this quite a few times now, even some of those lows are beginning to sit nicely in my head. An impressive debut. –Rich Cocksedge (Disillusioned, disillusionedrecords@gmail.com, Disillusionedrecords.bandcamp.com / Engineer, engineersrecords.com / Just Say No To Government Music, jsntgm.com)

Riot 77
Coming across as a combination of The Beltones and Husker Du, Nottingham’s Punch Drunk are as likely to glide through sombre or subtle shadings as they are to reach for the power chords. Edgy, tuneful Punk that doesn’t sound like a carbon copy of anyone else. The music has a potent guitar kick while the lyrics deal with personalized observations on the world. All songs are punctuated by a melodic arrangement, yet there’s definitely substance to Punch Drunk and its obvious they’ve got something going on here.
