The band united over a love of record labels such as Fat Wreck, Epitaph, Touch and Go, Jade Tree and Dischord, while also observing the current fragmentation of music into �writer/programmer� and �celebrity personality as singer� and feeling that this process is syphoning the artistry out of culture.
Music is becoming a series of algorithms and prosthetics. BarCreeps songs want to go against this trend and so are �about something� while being presented anonymously (band faces will never appear in promotional materials, instead being represented by a generic �BarCreep�). Song topics include the impossibility of a �world view� (The Hour Between Dog And Wolf), cyber-bullying (Troll), immigration (Calico) and American gun laws (Guns Out!) but without sacrificing melody or being inaccessible.
Railgrind was formerly in a band called The Pipettes, wrote a global top ten hit (being kept off the number one spot in Japan only by J-Lo), toured the world with the likes of Amy Winehouse, The
Beastie Boys and had a song covered by Mark Ronson. Bannister and Hendricks started the Hong Kong loft show scene and played a gig with
Fugazi while in high school. Bannister has also put out two records in a past act, The Young Playthings, on DIY stalwart label Smalltown
America (Jetplane Landing, And So I Watch You From Afar, USA Nails), Campari left his native Rome in 2015 where he�d been making a living in Italy�s premier Ramones tribute act while also playing in his own hardcore band,
Cream Pie. Hendricks also promotes concerts, having put on �Refugee Rock� last year, where the
Wedding Present headlined a gig that helped raise over �3,000 for the immigrants in the Calais jungle.
'The Hour Between Dog And Wolf' will be self-released, digitally, on the 15th April 2016 through all usual outlets. Available to Pre-Order now: https://bit.ly/BarCreepsTHBDAW
