Artist's Biography

The Puncturists are a female-fronted four-piece melodic garage punk band who currently rehearse in Barnsley, with members also living in Goole and Grimsby, England, UK.
The band started in 2022, although the current line-up has been together for 18 months; singer Gail Townsend, Dale Farrow on bass, Martin Gregory on drums and guitarist Patrick Crawford.
We've been working on this album for most of the year. The drum tracks were laid down on a freezing cold February Sunday at the Chantry Brewery, Rotherham (yes, really!!!) which doubles as a venue/performance space and has the most incredible acoustics, perfect for capturing the drums. The rest was done bit by bit over the following months at Orion Studios in Rotherham and but for "real life" rearing its ugly head at various times, would have been completed sooner. However, we all felt that it was better to get it exactly how we wanted rather than rush it out not quite right. A special word must go out to our producer, Steve Ellis, who has gone over and above to help us create something we're all hugely proud of.

"I'm Not Alright" consists of 11 songs, including a slightly longer version of our recent single "55", and showcases where we are as a band as well as looking forward to the direction we're going in and we hope you'll take this journey with us.

"I'm Not Alright" will be available to download and CD versions can be ordered from the Dead Swan Records Bandcamp site. It will also be available to stream from Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, Amazon Music and all major streaming sites and some we hadn't heard of before.
