Bishops Green - Bishops Green [LP]

The Vancouver-based street punk band Bishops Green was formed in spring of 2011. The group is comprised of four friends who hold a wide variety of musical influences and tastes. Energetic and charismatic frontman Greg Huff leads the charge on vocals. Scott Farquarson manages guitar duties, and the rhythm section consists of Bryan McCallum on bass and Orville Lancaster on drums and backup vocals. Their melodic style of old-school punk draws creative influences from European groups like BLITZ, THE CLASH, THE STIFF LITTLE FINGERS, COCK SPARRER, THE PARTISANS and LEATHERFACE; to hardcore acts from the US like THE AUTHORITIES, NAKED RAYGUN and MINOR THREAT. Not to mention the noticeable connection between Bishops Green to bands like ALTERNATE ACTION, THE SUBWAY THUGS and THE LANCASTERS, all former bands of lead singer Huff. Bishops Green's music is raw and energetic with a style firmly embedded in the historic roots of Streetpunk and Oi! All of the members of Bishops Green have been playing in bands together since the '90s and this history combined with the group's ability to draw from different punk genres, enables the creation of a catchy sing-along sound that will make sure that any audience feels like they are part of the show!
