Certified History

Certified are from `Gun City` Nottingham, we formed at the end of 2004. We are Sean (ex-Braindance) on vocals, Steve (ex-Losers) on guitar, Dean on drums and Tim on bass. We’re good mates that have been punks most of our lives and wanted to play the music we love, namely .........

UK82 influenced Punk Rock. We recorded our first demo `War Cunt` early 2005, which featured president Bush in front of flames with the words `war cunt` on his hat. At the same time we produced a controversial t-shirt that featured George Bush standing next to Adolph Hitler. `Foremans` a local bar contributed to this t-shirt as we featured their logo on the back. Since then Foremans and Certified have worked together with the bar sponsoring most of Certified’s projects. Certified continued playing throughout 2005, getting bigger and better support slots as time went on. We were asked to play the Amsterdam `Wasted` punk festival, which got us recognised in Europe. 2005 finished with us playing the Longest Day punk gig at Rock City Nottingham, sharing the bill with Stiff Little Fingers, The Stranglers and Anti Nowhere League amongst others.

Early 2006 we recorded 14 songs for our Piss in your face CD, financing this ourselves. Later in the year we also formed Certified Records as the platform to release it. In April 2006, legendary punk band Discharge asked us to be their support band for a full UK tour for which we got rave reviews.

Later on in 2006 we were asked to support Agnostic front and the Exploited at their sell out shows. 2006 culminated with a Xmas tour with GBH and Drongos for Europe.

2007 has started with a few gigs with the Abrasive Wheels and the Varukers

and gigs with Riot Squad and Sick on the Bus have been set up showing our continued credibility and strength within the UK punk rock scene.

Support for the band has also come from local artists, Haywood & Simon Mitchell, Simon who designed our comic centrefold for the CD has previously worked drawing for such bands as `The Gorrillaz` We have an extensive range of merchandise. (2 T-shirt designs, badges and even postcards & fridge magnets!)

That’s about it really, as you see we are hard working band, still practicing every week, writing more songs and playing whenever we can.

New website

We’ve finally got round to updating the site, hopefully for the better?

Fuck knows. Anyway it’s gonna be ages until we get round to doing it again, so fuck it. As we’ve now got a new line-up it seemed to make sense. The sound of the band has got harder and faster too. If you like you punk to have bollocks then give our PISS IN YOUR FACE cd a listen, (Voted 5 out of 5 on Punk and Oi)
