There aren’t many bands that formed in 1981 that are still playing the hardcore, punk scene, and playing it so well. However, Negative Approach still manages to slay every single time they take to the stage.
Having always played the seedy underbelly kind of venues, they aren’t used to performing in front of a huge attendance, but this doesn’t put them off their stride. Front man John Brannon is always able to deliver the hits his distinctive tone, which has arguably become one of the most powerful voices in the genre. Shortly after forming, in 1982 Negative Approach disbanded and moved on to other projects. The band then reformed in 2006 and tends to tour every now and then – dragging in a loyal following.
These guys play your quintessential punk gig; with an intimate crowd that live for the music and come for the hard-hitting performance - they aren’t let down either. The band roll out their old tunes, such as ‘Nothing’ and ‘Ready to Fight’, tracks played at blistering pace with that “let’s go out and break something” attitude which people have so easily associated with the hardcore genre.
Negative Approach have been on the scene for such a long time now that they have definitely achieved ‘legendary’ status, expect their reign to continue, in order to prove the point that, contrary to belief, punk ISN’T dead.
