Album available at name your price<\/q> with a minimum of \u00a30<\/a><\/p>\n

ONSIND<\/acronym> are an acoustic pop punk band from Durham. Their name is in reference to the lack of abortion facilities in some areas of America.<\/p>\n

I recently attended a gig put on by the Make That a Take<\/a> DIY<\/a><\/acronym> (anti-sexist, anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-homophobic<\/q>) collective in Dundee featuring ONSIND<\/acronym> and was blown away at how incredibly good their set was. Their gig had more people at it and more politics in it than most public meetings by parties.<\/p>\n

The album is a really nice package which contains liner notes including full lyrics and each song accompanied by a quotation. Philosophers have only interpreted the world…the point is to change it<\/q> – Karl Marx should give another taster at their lyrical content which also mentions weighty lefty tomes. The majority of the song are two male vocalists, one lead; one backing with acoustic guitars. Occasionally other instruments and backing singers pop up. But it should certainly be a more accessible punk album to those who don’t normally listen to the genre or it’s millions of sub-genres.<\/p>\n
