Bio
Pirate Video Company are a 4-piece alternative/punk band from Jersey Channel Islands. Formed in late 2007 as a 3 piece, PVC started out trying to replicate the sound of bands such as The Cribs and The Rakes, but as time went on they began playing heavier music, drawing primary influence from bands such as At The Drive-In, The Blood Brothers, Biffy Clyro and Foals.
Adam then joined in early 2010 introducing a whole new dimension to the band and further progressing our sound to what it has now become.
Seeking a broader horizon PVC moved away from Jersey to Brighton.
In June 2011 Pirate Video Company were invited to play the BBC Introducing Stage at the legendary Glastonbury Festival.
PVC are now based in various parts of Southern England and plan to gig across mainland UK.
"imagine if Arctic Monkeys had a baby with Refused, and then spent the first few years blowing smoke in its face and calling it names. Stupendous."
