Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rochester formed in London in 2006 around multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Tompaulin, with bassist Danny the Axe and drummer Tony the Knife. They built a reputation for raw energy and lyrics that leaned into dark humor, with songs like 'Ax Murderers Are So Overrated' and 'Mouth Full Of Regrets' showing their taste for provocative titles and themes.
They released three studio albums between 2008 and 2016: 'Murder, Mayhem, and Macabre,' 'Sins of the Father,' and 'Blood on the Canvas.'
Tracks like 'Spirit Of St. Louis' and 'The Harbor And The Sailor' suggest they worked in different moods, from raucous rock to more brooding material. The band maintained that their aim was to provoke thought rather than simply shock, even as their lyrics drew criticism from some quarters.
