Resolution 242

A politically orientated punk/dub/reggae band hailing from the home town of william Shakespeare.





From the Myspace:


Easy! We are Resolution 242 and we have a few tings to say to ya....

Alot of the tunes we write are influenced by stuff that we are into/involved in like social justice, Anti-war movement, animal rights and the like...

We dont claim to have the answers to any of these problems before you get your anti-political band knickers in a twist! We are raising awareness about important issues that we think need attention and debate, in the only medium we can, music...so we hope you get involved and enjoy!

We have been privileged enough to share stages with the likes of The King Blues,Mischief Brew,Johnny One Lung,Inner Terrestrials,The Dead Formats,Contempt,Minus Society and shit loads more which i cant think of now!

We're playing with these in Leicester, been meaning to check them out. Sounds very Skints/Suicide Bid. Nice.

Very decent band. I have an E.P. that sounds really, really boss.

yerrr, these are playing the manchester ska bar on the 28th.

and I'm totally in charge of this ska bar, so come down and watch me rule with an iron fist

Many thanks for giving Resolution 242 a plug!

Their debut self titled 8 song CD album should be back from the pressing plant & released on Do The Dog Music in the next few days!

Seen them live a couple of times...very enjoyable, their cover of Police And Thieves always drives me nuts.

Playing with them This Saturday at Blackmarket in Warsop. Very much looking forward to it.

Don't forget to tell them that they're band of the week on here. That will surely get them interested in the site.

Really nice peopple and compitent musiscians, was a little disapointed with the live show after hearing reccorded stuff, but then again we played terribley that night so Im sure they think much worse of us lol

Safe!

I must have just seen it on this year's lineup then.

Your female band member looks like Macauley Culkin.

Just reviewed this album, it's rather good.

I've met you in passing a couple of times in Leamington, so now I can say there is at least one person on this site who I have met for sure.

If I'm lucky (I work pretty all over the place shifts) I'll be able to catch you in Birmingham...unlikely but I'll be up the front loving it if I can.

As for Rebellion...you haven't played there before, have you been there before?

Have you been to our gigs at the well?

Been to one at the well, and I think the other time was at Kellys/JamJam- Positive Junk.

Safe not quite sure where to whack this so here will do

we have just set up a mailing list to tell our friends about stuff that is going on in the world of RES242! eg. Gigs,releases and probably some rants about some stuff.Would be wicked if you could sign up!

To do that just go on our profile (myspace.com/resolution242) and fill out the appropriate boxes and there you go!!

Also our CD is now available to buy from our profile if you want to pick one up!

Cheers

Only just discovered these lot from hearing Perkie on the radio.

Good tunes, gonna get them to Chepstow at some point hopefully!!

I'm diggin these guys and gal. Haven't seen them live yet though. Like the ep on Do The Dog

i do believe you guys are playing in loughborough october 9th? i may be playing as well depending on if i have my new band sorted by then. if not i'll make it down anyway!

I just got the CD in the post yesterday, sounding good. Will probably see them in Nottingham with The Flatliners

saw you guys on Sunday night at the 12 bar club. You played really well and i'm really liking the cd. Also like to give a shout out to the scaredy cats who i thought were good live as well
