Prepare yourself Europe and Australia, UK punk powerhouse, Punk Rock Factory are bringing their special brand of classic covers to your shores.
Love ’em or hate ’em you can’t deny that the punk covers band Punk Rock Factory is a phenomenon. Their tongue-in-cheek covers have made them more than a little popular; so much so, they’re headed out on a five month world tour that takes in the UK, Europe and, for the very first time, Australia.
Since their arrival via their YouTube videos in 2019 the band have cultivated a massive online following, which was taken to new heights the following year in 2020 with the release of their hilariously titled second album, ‘A Whole New Wurst’ an album that injected a punk attitude into a whole pile of sickly Disney tunes.
Their live debut at the legendary Bloodstock Festival in 2021 was, according to the band, a baptism by fire, but earned the a whole new fan base. The ensuing UK tour was a near sell-out affair, and their appearances at Slam Dunk and Download Festivals, cemented their own unique brand of punk a festival ‘must-see’.
Their extensive 2023 tour coincides with their sixth album, a punk rock homage to the magic of stage and screen, entitled ‘It’s Just A Stage We’re Going Through’
