Howdy!
 
Cos im a chav theif innit! on the way to gigs i cant resist the urge to break into some old ladies house and steal her ****! but then while playing on stage i have a fit of guilt and in a blind rage at myself feel the overwhelming urge to smash it up and hide the evidence.
 
(serious answer: i know someone who works in a pawn shop, gives me the broken dvds and vids to smash up, they are good cos the shrapnel is limited and the shock they can take is high)
 
Im actualy getting a bit bored of the smashing thing now but the fans like it, so i'll do it until theyre bored too... ive got a chainsaw now  just need ot work out what im gonna do with it hahaha!!

That would be....dangerously entertaining. I remember the Christmas show you guys did at High Wycombe where you wrestled Santa Claus onstage. Great stuff...will have to come along when you do your next tour and I'll see which date(s) I can hit

I saw you only recently with Sepultura, and you and Derrick Green make a rather scary combination.

I caught most of your set when you were supporting Sepultura in Islington a few weeks back. Excellent stuff - very impressed.
 
I meant to go and find an album, but haven't got around to it yet. But I will

My question to you would have been "Have you got anything recorded yet?" - but I can see above that you've already answered that. I'll have to think of something better to ask.

gigs please see above.., and as for how we met, my self Oz (guitar) and effon (drums) have been playing in bands since 99 (most notable was Age of Ruin - average metalcore/hardcore/heavy metal nonsense) and our bassist Ross, is the singer and guitarist for UK metal titans DESCENT.

We met after playing shows together back in the day and kept in touch. formed head-on purely as a laugh and have been playing since..

there is a gay man on man flick with the same title - we took it from that.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138487/

nah, real answer is that we formed for a laugh and decided we'd play what kind of music we wanted in a sea of emo tastic screamo bands - we called ourselves head-on to indicate we didnt care, we were gonna play what we wanted, tackle the scene head-on as it were..

pretty heroic huh!!  I AM MAN!

 I misunderstood that. I pictured you singing "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive. Somehow, I can't see you fitting into the the Pete Burns' role.
 
Actually, I wonder what a metal version of that would sound like ....

HMMM none that im ashamed of, i love a lot of 80's rock, bon jovi, europe, skid row, Mr Big and slightly older stuff: boston, toto, whitesnake loadsa stuff like that which i guess some peeps may find emabarressing but thats the stuff that got me into metal anyway. I guess most might be more suprised to learn i dont like Kyuss, Mastodon, clutch (well they are ok) all the bands im expected to like just cos of the music i play...

What a band.
 
Oz (the Guitarist), teeachers my mate guitar at school.
 
The XXL album is really good.

Nothing embarrassing about the 80's. Well, maybe spandex and big hair, but at the time it all seemed so right. As you, it's what I grew up on. Tom f will be along in a minute to tell you that anyone who enjoyed Mr Big is deluded or was in a drug haze at the time - but hey, he's still just a boy.

Wonko.

wow, I had no idea when I sent that blurb to carrie how popular this thread would be!

Head on played a 'kin great set at Bloodstock and next time they tour I'm going to make sure I get to a gig!

and to Mark, hope you like the pics!

Cos im a chav theif innit! on the way to gigs i cant resist the urge to break into some old ladies house and steal her ****! but then while playing on stage i have a fit of guilt and in a blind rage at myself feel the overwhelming urge to smash it up and hide the evidence.

(serious answer: i know someone who works in a pawn shop, gives me the broken dvds and vids to smash up, they are good cos the shrapnel is limited and the shock they can take is high)

Im actualy getting a bit bored of the smashing thing now but the fans like it, so i'll do it until theyre bored too... ive got a chainsaw now  just need ot work out what im gonna do with it hahaha!!

Haha... "Here comes the Chainsaw..." Sweet.

I remember you coming dashing off stage mid set at Damnation last year.. "Has anyone seen my VCR?". I was thinking "This is no time to catch up on Coronation Street..."

Question to Logan; When are you going to tour the UK again?

And can you please, please kick the crap out of the Gallagher Brothers...that would be worthy of a headlining spot at Donny.

once we've done the album, but our label and our manager are sorting out some stuff as we speak. With any luck there will be a couple of Panic Cell/Head-on shows some time in 2008 if Luke and I have anything to do with it!

Galagher bros? hmm im more up for slapping that doherty fellow, syringe addled joker that he is..

 
Any chance we can join the Head On /Panic Cell party  we all love you guys ,fukin awesome set @ Bloodstock and last year @ Damnation 
If you guys are @ Damnation this year we'll have to hook up for a beer or 2

ANOTHER SAD DAY...
 
I got this from their website.
 
Mark here: Thats right folks, we're calling it a day!

No gossip for you unfortunatly, but to make it more dramatic feel free to make up some stories!. Im gonna quit the music side of things and concentrate on my fighting while Oz, Andy and Ross will continue with their various musical projects. This page will remain up and i'll keep you updated with what everyone is doing.

If enough people want it we will consider doing one final show to give this thing the send off it deserves.

Thanks and much love to everyone who has helped us out and assisted us with turning what was just a dumb idea into somehow being signed internationally and supporting some incredible bands, some of which were our favourites from our childhood!!
