We love ROOKS. They are pretty raw, and they are out to mess you up. Something of a hardcore supergroup, they tore up the stage at last year's Krampus (Vol 2.), and twelve months later our ears are still ringing from it, so we just *had* to get them back for another faceful of blood-spitting, nipple-twisting, seriously seriously LOUD punk gnarliness.
Just check out this video...
(You might want down your lunch first though.)
See what we mean? They don't really hold anything back, hitting you not with razor-sharp sophistication, but with a huge great big blunt instrument instead.
It's pretty clear which does more damage...
For KRAMPUS Vol 3, the trio have offered up a long-time live favourite, charmingly entitled 'The Pope Fucks Kids' and it's, well.... loud, and fast, and shouty, and totally totally batshit.
Strap in, drink eggnog till it comes out your eyeballs, and enjoy a cynically dose of black anti-festive non-cheer from the one and only Rooks... Just maybe don't play it to your great aunt after turkey dinner...
Be sure not miss one of the bands standout performances this year at the One Inch Badge Krampus Vol 3 Party @ The Green Door Store, 22nd Dec 2011!

Taking its name from the mythical Austrian “Anti-Santa”; the evil and wicked Krampus deity, this series of festive collections began in 2009 with a lushly Xmas wrapped CD designed and painted by Thom Mountford that sold out in the batting of an eyelash. This was followed in 2010 with the release of ‘Krampus is Coming Volume 2’, a limited to edition (to just 60) USB stick in a cracker with hat, joke and gift! OIB have now expanded this vision even further to deliver a seasonal Xmas jumper USB package, featuring unique musical contributions from STUART WARWICK / MUNICH / RUM COMMITTEE / SOFT ARROWS / ROOKS / JIMI SWELLS
More Krampus Artist Profiles to follow in the run up to the launch party!
