Thatchers Love Child are a three piece Punk/Oi! band from Birmingham, U.K. 
Formed in late 2013 as a four piece consisting of members of recently disbanded 
bands Nasty Playground and Odious Little Shits. After a few line up changes Thatchers Love Child settled down as a three piece with Shu McVeigh on Vocals and Guitar, Ste McVeigh on Bass and Sam Jenkins on drums. After the local success of their debut E.P. 'Laces, Braces and Ugly Faces', which was recorded and produced entirely by themselves, they started work on their debut album 'Don't Point' which was released on the 3rd October 2014 and then continued to record a compilation of there most popular songs titled Greatest Hits 2014 which was released on 24th December 2014. Thatchers Love Child are a very active gigging band playing shows nearly every weekend in various places around the Midlands playing charity gigs and festivals and are very active in the fight against fascism

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!
