Lancasters Alexander & Gore (2000 - 2005)

THE LANCASTERS, born from the ashes of the SUBWAY THUGS, were a melodic, hard-hitting street punk band formed in Vancouver, Canada in the spring of 2000. They were greatly influenced by both the American and European Oi! and streetpunk, and became widely appreciated for their gruff vocals, sing-along choruses and pounding rhythms, developing a loyal fan base throughout western Canada, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. In November 2003, Longshot Music released their first full-length Alexander And Gore (2000-2005) (on CD only). The release received wide attention and praise from fanzines such as Maximum Rockn Roll, and in May 2004 the band was showcased on the AMP Presents Vol. 2 Street Punk compilation with the likes of THE UNSEEN, THE CASUALTIES, LARS FREDERIKSEN AND THE BASTARDS, THE SWINGIN UTTERS, ANTI-FLAG, and THE VIRUS.
