Headsticks' distinct brand of punked up roots rock and roll blends barbed lyrics, anthemic choruses, and addictive melodies to create passion infused performances oozing honesty, integrity and raw energy, all delivered with a wry humour! Live performances, as well as their debut album 'Muster', follow up album 'Feather and Flame', and now their brand new release 'Kept In The Dark' continue to receive rave reviews from pillars of both the world of folk and world of punk and it is little wonder that their unique style is attracting attention from near and far as the band continue their epic crusade to say it like it is!
Intense touring has seen the band play main supports to en extensive range of bands, including Buzzcocks, Big Country, Ruts DC, Spear Of Destiny, Ferocious Dog, and The Wildhearts to name just a few, and has helped them nurture a fanatical fan base and become a firm festival favourite.

Feedbacc have already played some big shows in Stoke recently, including playing with Filth at The Sugarmill on their big Christmas gig, headlining The Underground for Independent Venue Week, as well as a messy headline show at The Exchange. Expect nothing less than controlled chaos.
