The Attic started out as a 3-piece Punk/R&B band in Leeds back in 1988. Not great times. Thatcher was in power and the music scene was stuffed with insipid indie shoe-gazing bands. Taking their cue from a period 10 or so years previously, the band set out to inject some energy and purpose into their music. They gigged constantly, mainly in the north of England and secured support slots on tours by the Clash bassist Paul Simonon's band Havana 3am, Eddie And The Hot Rods, Wreckless Eric, the Lurkers and Chelsea to name but a few. The band received plenty of press coverage and had a minor success with their 'Off The Nest' ep from 1991. Around this time they extended to a 4- piece with Steve Pedley brought in on rhythm guitar. Eventually the band called it a day when sticksman Graham Pickup secured a trial with a Midlands based First Division football club and rhythm guitarist at the time Cat Presley left to pursue a TV career. Ex-Gun Law guitarist BB Tim had stepped in to replace the Cat for a short period but the kid(s) didn't take to the telecaster driven country blues meanderings and the band had to accept their time was up. In 2012, only 17 years!...after the band imploded, Steve, Boo and Pickup got together for a jam in a converted barn on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Things started to click into place and eventually in September 2012, the band returned to the live circuit again and proved that they could still deliver!

#HambiBleibt
The powers that seek to break our spirit, to crush us under a fist of fear and apathy, and then as if that wasn't enough, even to lock us up and take us to court for the cheek of having stood up to their blows.
And maybe if the message can spread enough, we can put a stop to this dehumanizing situation, and find solutions that honour life instead of this divide and conquer colonialist grab-what-you-can-get mindset.

None of us are free till all are free!
Solidarity, love and rage,
the forest cries

Solidarity with La ZAD NddL and all ZADs
Solidarity with Rojava
And all free peoples suffering under colonialism and oppression
Solidarity with Val de Susa, with the ancient forests of Tasmania, with the rainforests of the Amazon and the high mountains threatened to be exploded for their minerals.
Solidarity with all those without papers, without homes, without land
Solidarity with the sick and injured, and with all those traumatised by the violence of society
Solidarity with all beings that suffer this excess of human stupidity and cruelty,
Solidarity with all forests under threat from development and productivism.
Go Vegan,
Open all the cages
Till all are free
