Risen from the ashes of
euro-core pioneers VIOLATION OF TRUST,
PAYBACK originated in the summer of 2000, when Marco and Koen
decided to go on spreading the hardcore reality after V.O.T. had
quit.
Joining forces with them on the original line-up were Dennis (OUTLAW)
beating the drums and Pieter (THE BUTCHER) smashing the bass. Within
two years PAYBACK recorded a demo cd “Introducing the PAYBACK
crew”,
donated a track for Onno Cro-Mag´s sampler “Respect
your Roots” and shared
a split-cd with Mtown´s S.O.S. for IScream records “New
League of Hardcore”.
PAYBACK stands for furious, fast & loud, raw and energetic hardcore!
On cd or on stage.....it’s always pure and right in your face!
The band already played on the European Hardcore Festival and with
leading bands like: Madball, Agnostic Front, Terror and Sick of
it All
and is always out there in some venue to fuck shit up!
The line-up changed for the first time when Pieter quit and hardcore
veteran
Robert (TECH-9) took over the bass. To complete the line-up Dre
(OUTLAW) teamed up with The Payback Crew to screw up the guitars.....
now the time was right to record their first full-length cd “Old
School Warriors”
( I think the title says it all) for Uscream records in 2004.
Old School Warriors got very good reviews in the underground scene
as
well in the bigger magazines as Aardschok, Up and Metal Hammer!
Payback always lives up to the reputation of being an energetic
and entertaining
live band so check ´em out demolishing the stage somewhere
at a venue near you!
Founding member Koen decided to quit for clear personal reasons
after all
becoming a dad is hardcore too! Gérard (founding member of
