Cincy based surf, punk, funk and roll formed in 1999 by guys who were sick of the derived drivle of their peers bands, who played nothing but generic rock, and had a huge crowd following. So the wankers set out to change the rock scene in their neck of the woods. To many bands take themselves to seriously and forget about making good music. The wankers put music sensationalism above all else. That is to say that the overall effect of their stage show leaves one feeling like they've actually seen something.
With influences ranging from, but not limited to: "the who", "the clash", "mud honey", "led zepplin" and "nirvana" to " the ventures", "agent orange", "the talking heads", "the B 52's" and ?the ramones?. The wankers cover the rock 'n roll spectrum nicely, fitting into a wide range of genres. It?s hard to put a name to exactly what the wankers sound like, some folks have called them "space punk". Others dubbed them "spunge rock", an acronym for surf, funk, punk, grunge. But most people who see the wankers agree on one thing, they are very high energy rock n' roll.
Pretention can ruin good music. If one thing is to be said about the wankers, it's that they are down to earth, friendly guys. They play out regularly, set up shows, and are always looking to meet new friends and support the scence.
