Husbands N Knives

Husbands N Knives Torquay's very own Riot Grrrl punk Crusaders !

Husbands N Knives are a four piece riot grrrl punk band from Torbay.
The band was formed in 2008 by guitarist Julie, singer Lou and bassist Craig; the fire has been raging ever since...

Inspired by early 90s female fronted acts like Bikini Kill, L7 and Hole, they began their career in Torquay's Ryan's Bar, once an underrated beacon of the bay's alternative rock scene. Their catchy tunes, fresh take on Riot Grrrl punk and memorable stage antics, aided by a little internet magic, gradually won them some national and international attention in the underground punk community.
In 2010 they released their first album, the well-received "Raised On Synthetic Bitch Milk", followed by the much-awaited "Virosa Ebriosa" in 2015. That same year, they got the attention of Cleopatra Records who enlisted the band for their "Riot Grrrl Christmas" album. They have appeared on punk, Riot Grrrl and fundraising compilations from as far as Germany, Russia, Turkey, Finland, the US and the UK.
Husbands N Knives have gigged extensively all around Britain for the past 8 years. They've played in pubs and clubs, at charity events and at Punx Picnics; they've performed at LGBT events , women's gatherings, community festivals, alternative week-ends and bigger festivals such as 3 Chords in Cornwall. They have travelled the UK from Tamar to Thames and from Severn to Forth; they have played in Scotland during the Fringe festival and crossed the sea to fly the Devon colours in Dublin and Belfast.
Both humorous and heart-felt, their songs tell tales of suburban life, troubled youth, love, revenge, History and witchcraft.

Raw, energetic and passionate, powered by pixies and drenched in South-Devon sun, Husbands N Knives have vowed to put Torbay back on the punk rock map.

Press :

"High quality gritty punk rock that will satisfy all sub-genres of the punk scene as the no-nonsence lyrics are matched by the no-nonsense music. It's fast, it's furious, it's catchy and it's meaningful and true..."
— Mark Sesin, Bitchslap Fanzine: Issue 6

"My favest band to gig with !"
Chris "Wheelie" Wilsher, the Bus Station Loonies.

"The woman has a voice to die for... Simple, but effective"
Dead Cities Fanzine.

"Personally I was very impressed with this Band when I saw their performance at “Porters” in Plymouth as a part of the recent “Punks Picnic” (...) Mark my Words Husbands ‘n’ Knives are a great band, you’re gonna be hearing a lot about over the next few months ..."
Combat Ready Fanzine, October 2012

" Coruscating, hook-laden and anthemic..."
Traxmark

"Their new release "Virosa Ebriosa" is slick, sexy and riddled with occultism... This is an album deserving of its place in any punk rocker's CD collection..."
The Dolmen Grove Chronicles, 2016.
