The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing

Mixing the raucous roaring of death metal with the eerie call of the musical saw, The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing are steampunk rocking pirates, demanding their nineteenth century tipple of ‘gin!’ and shouting of vermin infestations and Charlie Darwin. At times there’s a joyful thrashing mob mentality, enjoyably perverse in its focus on ideas and details, and at other moments tunefully gothic, subverting the ghost story with an atheist’s perspective. Gleeful, emmersive, true – this striking steampunk band of proud misfits is where you’d truly find the Bill Sykes criminals, shouting, roaring and unapologetically revelling in their exploits.
