Grampa Hands presents…
THE SLOW DEATH
https://www.facebook.com/theslowdeathmpls
Led by Minnesotan punk stalwart Jesse Thorson, The Slow Death is a rougher-edged melodic punk rock band that contains considerable pedigree, housing members of The Ergs!, Dillinger Four, The Raging Nathans, and Tiltwheel.
Signed to Dayton, Ohio-based label Rad Girlfriend Records, previous trips to these shores have included support-slots with Off With Their Heads, as well as festival appearances at DIY-staples such as Manchester Punk Festival.
As tight and as explosive as a pocket-rocket being fired into a cop's face, this Twin Cities supergroup is not to be missed.
PIZZATRAMP

Focussing on the highly cerebral activities of drinking, drug taking, and shouting endless obscenities at pretty much everyone, thrash punkers Pizzatramp hail from the small and pointless town of Caldicot in South Wales.
A group that never stops touring (or drinking), these Cambrian loons hark back to the days of Eighties American hardcore bands like DRI, Gang Green, and No Redeeming Social Value.
RAMONA MARX

Vomiting out of the London commuter-belt town of Hemel Hempstead, punk rockers Ramona Marx set out to beat the suburban boredom-curse by writing songs about fighting, fucking, and staying alive in the 21st-century. (While occasionally dressing up as clowns in the process.)
A support-slot with Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols' long-time band The Professionals is a good litmus-test for the sort of live show that this four-piece puts on, and expect this to be intensified still, as these otherwise regulars in Camden play the Black Heart for the first time ever.
