Hailing from Vancouver, BC, The Lancasters were a melodic, hard-hitting street-punk band drawing creative influence from both the British and European Oi and Punk Rock Scenes. Fronted by Greg Huff (GLORY STOMPERS, SUBWAY THUGS), and supported by Jay Hell, AL Kang and Orville Lancaster; the band was widely appreciated for it’s gruff vocals, sing along choruses and pounding rhythms.
Originally established as a three piece in the spring of 2000, The Lancasters maintained a constant presence on the Western Canadian Punk scene and developed loyal fan-base throughout North America and abroad in Europe.
In November 2003, The Lancasters released their first full length CD “Alexander and Gore” in collaboration with New York’s Longshot Music. The release received support from fanzines such as Maximum Rock and Roll, and received regular airplay on local radio stations.
In May 2004 the band was showcased on the AMP Presents Vol. 2 Street Punk compilation with the likes of THE UNSEEN, THE CASUALTIES, LARS AND THE BASTARDS, THE SWINGING UTTERS, ANTIFLAG, and THE VIRUS.
In the Spring of 2005 guitar duties were passed to Jay Hell who’s rhythm and ripping leads charge the bands’ live shows, song writing and studio work even more. The Band hit the studio in the summer of 2005 and recorded six songs for their second full-length album which was scheduled for release in late 2005.
In the Fall of 2005 the Lancasters called it quits…
