Formed in 1977 in Belfast, Ireland Stiff Little Fingers were at the forefront of the punk movement. With sold out shows on their last Australian Tour, SLF return in February to celebrate their 40th Anniversary.
SLF’s signature style combines the energy of punk, infectious hooks, and lyrics that meld the personal and political, with a delivery that rings of honesty and commitment. It’s Jake Burns’ integrity and style that has meant that all these years later SLF are still as in demand as ever.
Bad Religion and Rancid have both credited SLF as a major influence. SLF live shows continue to be a special event of energy and power. For their 40th Anniversary expect all the SLF anthems – ‘Alternative Ulster’, ‘Suspect Device’, ‘Wasted Life’, ‘Tin Soldiers’, ‘Nobody’s Hero’, ‘Johnny Was’, ‘Barbed Wire Love’ plus more.
“every tune a singalong inciting mass euphoria and pogoing from the crowd” – Bristol 247
“an energy that swept most of the crowd off their feet and straight into a mosh pit” – Impact Nottingham
“an almighty roar rose from the crowd doubling in volume when the band took to the stage” – Louder Than War
“THE most important Irish band of all time, Stiff Little Fingers. For the memories, music and merriment, Hanx!” – Original Rock
