Bionic Buzz® got to interview the viral punk rock cover band PUNK ROCK FACTORY. Joined by special co-host DJ Rossstar, we talked to Peej (vocals, guitar), Benj (bass, vocals), Ryan (guitar) and Kob (drums, vocals) about their past, present and future which is their new album ‘Masters of The Uniwurst’ on July 30. Formed in late 2014 in South Wales, Punk Rock Factory combine everything you love about 1990s/2000s punk rock, and reimagine classic and hit songs like you’ve never heard them before. From Meat Loaf to Disney, nothing is off-limits to them.
The band rehearse, write, record, mix, master and film everything themselves in one dedicated space that they affectionately call ‘The Sausage Factory’ and have no problem bringing friends along either. To date Punk Rock Factory has had singers from bands such as Protest the Hero, Bowling for Soup, Mest, Rufio, Belvedere, Ten Foot Pole and more, provide guest vocals on tracks. Firmly cementing themselves as a punk rock household name.
On the new album, Punk Rock Factory takes on 21 classic TV theme songs including, Arthur, Power Rangers, Saved By The Bell, The Flintstones, Goof Troop, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pokemon and many more.
High energy, punk rock powerhouses Punk Rock Factory make easy work of their special brand of punk covers.
After their first album ‘The Wurst Is Yet To Come’ gained over 1.3m streams on Spotify and an explosion of interaction on TikTok and other platforms, the band got to work on their second album ‘A Whole New Wurst’, consisting entirely of Disney classics with their unique special sauce added. After only two months the album gained over 2.4m streams, reached #48 in the UK album download charts and was played twice on BBC Radio 6 with Craig Charles, with the first play being the most requested song of the week.
With a heavy focus on digital content, especially TikTok & Instagram, Punk Rock Factory show no signs of slowing down and continue to grow faster each day, with their TikTok alone now sitting at over 350,000 followers and 1.9 million likes.
With thousands of new fans coming in every day and plans to release up to three themed albums per year, as well as bringing their own brand of high octane energy to live performances, Punk Rock Factory have arrived, and are here to stay.
