...........................A..R..E...........................
At Ropes End is a ska/punk band from downtown Henley. We've been playin ska now for bout two years. But were in different bands defore. Tom (the wooden dildo player) is in a metal band called Downfold wit Loz (phat mc-in lyricist,ahem). Ross (lead 'guitarist')is also in an old skool tribute Metallica band,called Smegtallica. We are trying to get some gigs going locally, in pubs and maybe small venues, or halls.

Will and Jonny, newbies, have been really good for the band. It means we now have a proper horn section, and a bassist who can play ska lines. It means we can have two guitars playing, good for effects and solos.

Covers

Maybe
What we have
Smoke and Drive
Unjustified divide
Beating up the Lyricist/Kaboom

Rambo

Ross has worked out a load of riffs, so we just need to add the rest of the band. There are also lyrics floating about, waiting for a song. There are lots of cool ideas, but just need putting together at the mo.
We are gonna do a political stylee song, and a ska-core, if Loz can be arsed.

Have a look at Take The Fool - Check out their cd...and the gig on Sat 21st December at The White Horse...and other banter!
