After a line up change from the original inception the guys have (for now) ditched the creative originals and decided to concentrate on taking the audience back to a time when music was real, raw and in your face. In Ronnie's words \u003cem\u003e\"our mission is to educate and enlighten\"\u003c\/em\u003e and the tunes have been carefully handpicked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're definitely not Punk's Greatest Hits, but they are all significant. This wise sage also adds that \u003cem\u003e\"the best songs have already been written, so why waste your time writing new tunes when you could be indulging\"\u003c\/em\u003e. The live appearances are a 'warts and all' Punk Rock Rollercoaster and they unashamedly adhere to the Punk Rock ethic of 'just having a go'…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith: Tex on Bass - from the late 70s he started out in \u003cstrong\u003eThe Pits\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCarnage\u003c\/strong\u003e band (who supported the likes of Thee Milkshakes and The Prisoners), and has always been a faithful follower and supporter of Medway acts. Andy on Drums - another early name on the Medway scene, his band was \u003cstrong\u003eSulphate\u003c\/strong\u003e, who not only supported \u003cstrong\u003eThe Pop Rivets\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also released a double A-sided single with them. The Smugglers have enticed him back to the throne. Chris on Vocals - once in a band called \u003cstrong\u003eThe Spirals\u003c\/strong\u003e, the band have groomed him into Punk Rock. Ronnie on Rhythm Guitar - previously of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Crustaceons\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eThe Throttles\u003c\/strong\u003e. And there's Ash on Lead Guitar - previously of \u003cstrong\u003ePulse\u003c\/strong\u003e (a short lived band from Gillingham in the late 90s) and \u003cstrong\u003eThe Throttles\u003c\/strong\u003e, he's keen to strum, bang or prod anything you throw at him!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePunk Rockin' at Ranscombe\u003c\/em\u003e is the second release from Medway's ubiquitous go-to Punk Rock warm up act The Burntwick Smugglers, who have supported the likes of The 5.6.7.8's, Auntie Vegetable and even The Prisoners (at their unplanned 'reunion' gig in 2021).
