Belligerent+86 | zh
Belligerent 86 was formed in Austin, TX in 1997 by Houston Ritcheson (guitar, vocals) and Bobby Fuentes (drums, vocals) after the demise of their ska/oi/punk band the Contradicks, which was formed in 1994 along with Dynamite Boy guitarist Sean Neil. Going for a harder edge and a sound to go along with their reputation for being 86'd from most reputable clubs in Austin, the name Belligerent 86 was taken. Along with Josh Nash on bass,(replaced shortly after by Josh "pink" Purpurra previously of Endless Struggle) the band was originally a trio and began practicing in South Austin's infamous practice space/party...
The Belligerents are a five-piece indie/dance band from Brisbane.
The band consists of lead singer Lewis Stephenson, guitarist James Griffin and bassist Konstantin Kersting. Kersting joined the band after moving to Australia from Berlin. On keys and programming is Andy Balzat and drums is White Stag.
They released their debut EP "Less Arty More Party" in 2011. They released their second EP “She Calls The Shots” in 2012. It was recorded at Airlock Studios with Yanto Browning.
2013 marks a new direction for the group, with a more electronic psych rock influence.

Belligerent Intent is a 3 piece black/death metal band from the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria. With blasphemous lyrics combined with non-stop brutality and speed, Belligerent Intent is all out war against the laws of the cross and create this music for the like minded.
The 3 members met through playing in Flesh Embraced in 06. Flesh Embraced unfortunately would break up 12mths after forming. Craig, Mark & Matt would move on to form Belligerent Intent ( a band Craig had been attempting to form on and off for the last 10yrs since the passing of the guitarist Darren Rodeghiero)...
