Scabz – Guess Who?

Scabz’ ability to chuck a sharpened penny at over-inflated egos is hurled here at the police, in a bare minute-and-a-half of contempt and pity. Frenetic, acid-tongued, and furiously mad, you’ll show up for the trademark two-liners (“I get free punching bags / activists, black kids, and fags”), but it’s also well worth hanging around for […]

Scabz @ The Botany View, 26th May

“If Scabz are the shittest band in Newtown, then Newtown is fucking blessed. Tearing about like drunk puppies, they’re as cute and as terrifying as a baby monkey with a knife. Sharp as a an edged weapon, caustically funny, and as fast and loud and tuneful as you’re ever likely to require. Shittest band in […]
