Everytime I read reviews or comments about this band, I am surprised to see how much people have respect for them. Many people say they are one of the best punk/hardcore band ever... One thing is sure, amongst all the Australian bands, MYC/One Inch Punch is definitely one of those that defined 90's punk scene. Now for some bio.. Everything started in Melbourne in 1993 under the name Downfall. After releasing a small demotape in 1994, they change their name the same year to One Inch Punch and will keep it until 1997 when they are again forced to change their name due to conflict with another band from Europe. So, they change for Mid Youth Crisis, and will release some stuff and play tons of shows before calling it a day in 1998. In 2002, they will reform to play two shows at the Arthouse, and one of them will be recorded and released the year after. They will again reform in 2004 for a couple of shows. If you like them, you may want to search on youtube, you'll find many videos by them.

ReplyDeletethe demo was release under the band name One Inch Punch, or is it the title ? because I thought they were named Downfall before 1995
DeleteNot sure how accurate this is
