The Independents Photos and Photo Album – Horror Ska Band
The Independents are simply, just damn scary with their evil ska/punk music. On this page are some scary photos provided exclusively to Rock n Roll View by Kenny Martin over at Fastshutter.com. There are some really nice shots that the biggest rock bands in the world wished they had.
The Independents were founded in the early ’90s by Willy B on guitars and Evil Presly on vocals in the swamps of South Carolina. Their purpose was to combine the influences of Iron Maiden, Conway Twitty, the Ramones, and Etta James into a weapon to lay waste to bands playing on the then local music scene in South Carolina. Since then they have pumped out the albums and live shows with the intention of scaring the shit out of you.
From their web site:
Hearsay has it that the only thing scarier to sprout from the muck and mire of South Carolina’s swampland than guitarist Willy B is his partner-in-grime Evil Presly. Whereas Mr. B has that gentlemanly Southern smarm and a drawl that simply drips with “git th’ shovel”, Mr. Presly – a leather ‘n leopard wrapped mass of mange, canines and charisma that’s charmed the pants off more than one chimpanzee – is a brash, one-man avalanche. Put simply, put the two together on a stage, in a van or bar tab and somebody’s gonna end up hurt and bawlin’.
