sister of PERCY Andy Tenfoot York " A toe tapping jaw dropper: Life in a northern town on viciously beaten guitars. Think Half Man Half Biscuit meets the Housemartins..." STEVE LAMACQ "Percy deliver a twisted but humorous tale of small town humanity in punky rasping Yorkshire tones. Discordant nasty and great fun - your can really hear the venom!" VIC GALLOWAY Biography Founded in York in May 1996. Percy are a distinctive evolution of the North of England's post-punk indie pioneers. Percy challenge style, convention and tempo. They're difficult to categorise as musical genres get used and abused with little mercy. Punk, Reggae, Swing, Glam, Country and Rock all get a turn but all provide a slick underpinning to a collection of wonderfully witty stories; Colin's lyrical vision of today's England includes call centre drones, getting old, Doncaster working mens clubs, Politicians, Payday loans and our very dear Noel Edmonds. Often bleak but there's more than enough black humour to raise a wry smile. The press description of percy's music is as imaginative as the music itself and the band seem to collect ace straplines such as 'The Kinks of Punk', 'A Yorkshire version of the Sweeney' and Steve Lamacq's own 'Toe tapping jaw droppers'.
