Stuntface sign with Black Lantern Records
Near legendary Welsh punkers Stuntface joint the Lantern family. Formed in the heyday of the Wrexham thrash and punk scene, they played their first show in November 1999.
This led onto a hard, constant year round touring schedule, sometimes putting 1000 miles a week on the van. This included Ireland, Europe, countless appearances on the Holidays In The Sun / Wasted festivals and tentative plans were made to attack the U.S.A.
They have played shows with such luminaries as Suicidal Tendencies, Poison Idea, D.R.I., Stiff Little Fingers, Conflict, G.B.H. U.K. Subs, Leftover Crack, Capdown, the Subhumans, Funeral for a Friend, the Wildhearts, the Vibrators, Vice Squad and the Damned to name a few.
In Wayne Fireflys own words:
“We were inspired by the likes of the Misfits, SNFU, Bad Religion, Minor Threat, NoFX, Motorhead, Propagandhi, Bad Brains and the Cro-Mags mixing up styles and sounds of the U.S. and U.K. hardcore punk scenes, playing fast and blasting but abrasively melodic punk rock anthems for everyone to commit mass murder to.”
Fast forward to 2023 and Stuntface are back with the original line-up, and after a handful of triumphant return shows including support slots for GBH and Undertones, a chance meeting between a Firely and a Lantern in a market means that their classic albums will finally see the light of day on VINYL!
Welcome to the horror show.
