Negative Measures are a four piece punk/hardcore band, who normally perform around the Brighton area. Their sound is described as punk/hardcore but they are definitely on the heavier side of it which is nice to see in the punk genre as mostly when you think punk, you think of the classic old school sound. Drawing their inspiration from topics such as the E.U., anti-UKIP and being sick of it all , they all contribute to the music that they make. Various punk/metal tones can be heard in their tracks but they also tell me they try to draw some inspiration from the L.A/ New York scene in the late 70's early 80's so involving a little hip hop to their tunes as well.
