Jenny (Demo)

Sneaking Up On You (Demo)

Wake Me Up When I'm Dead' is a song that Liam has been performing for several years and been recently revamped for The Drunkards, as a satirical but blunt comment on the fact that mental illness has become trendy and is seen as a fashion accessory rather than a genuine illness.

Debut album 'Brewed in Bexley' coming Saturday 7th May, including this song and many more. Written by Liam Shipton, engineered and mixed by Flash Gitt

Wake Me Up When I'm Dead

Life On Death Row

A playful yet angry attack on the Tory Government. Remember when David Cameron fucked a pig? It's about that.

Little Piggies (Dedicated to...)

A therapeutic, tongue-in-cheek post-break up song.

I Hope You Die

A song in dedication of the breeding ground of Wonderwall covers

Open Mic Night

The Drunkards were an “acoustipunk” group fronted by singer-songwriter and satirist Liam Shipton and backed by multi instrumentalists Flash Gitt and Daniel Russell. Formed in Bexley in late 2015, they performed a hybrid of folk, punk and rock ‘n’ roll, with material ranging from the political and satirical to the dark and twisted. ‘Brewed in Bexley’, their debut-retirement album, was released in May 2016 on BandCamp and all major retailers.

Originally Liam’s idea, the group was formed with the intention of being a cover band to make a bit of extra money on Friday nights. However, after having been persuaded by Flash Gitt, Liam agreed to perform original songs. Completely by accident, the pair then stumbled upon what has now been affectionately dubbed ‘Acoustipunk’ - a hybrid of folk, punk and rock ‘n’ roll. 

Liam’s dark, sardonic, often in-your-face lyrics with Flash Gitt’s exceptional talent as an electric guitarist as well as Daniel’s versatility as a percussionist, put together as a combination with the trio’s love of loudness and bad attitudes proved popular with their audiences; offering an alternative to the factory-made, formulaic, bland pop and indie that listeners were subjected to. 

In a world where the radio was dominated by poorly written songs about love and anacondas (whatever one of them is), The Drunkards made a more concerned effort to talk about real life faced by real people of their generation; with songs about mental illness, internet stalkers, being completely skint (and angry about it), sexual assaults and more, the trio wasn’t shy about using music to tackle issues that other musicians are afraid of.

Following the deaths of all three band members [citation needed] in September 2016 after a tragic incident where alcohol-free beer was accidentally put on their rider, The Drunkards are no more. As of that, they will not be available for bookings, being dead and all, apart from one-off performances where expenses for reincarnation are guaranteed.
