Why this name?
To be honest it just kind of came to us from nowhere. We where origanlly called Gun nut, but thought that if you said it quickly it sounded like an STD, Gunnut, see what I mean.
Do you play live?
We play live as much as we can, we love it. At the moment we only really play the UK but are sorting out some european dates for later this year.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think that mp3's just make it alot easier for smaller unsigned bands to get noticed. I reckon that the whole thing with mp3's is a good thing and nowhere near as damaging as some people will have you think.
Home taping didn't kill music and mp3's won't either. The problem seems to stem from the fact that labels don't really have much control over who has mp3's of their bands, and it seems to only be major labels that have a problem with them. Now that the industry types are catching up with the technology things will simmer down again. This always seems to happen whenever a new, more publicly avalible medium comes out. It's nothing new.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell yeah!!!!!
Band History:
various mental issues, girlfriends and slack arsed now ex-members the current line up got their act together and started giging in december of that year. The first show was at the Concorde 2 in Brighton. Someone put us on between two ska bands, at an all age's show. After scaring the crap out of a bunch of children we developed a strong following and went on to support Zeke in Febuary '05 and followed this up with a string of sucsessful headline and support shows.
We could start blabing on about our musical pretentions and how we will change your life, but I'm sure you can't be arsed to read it and I can't be arsed to write it. The truth is we have no musical pretentions and we probably won't change your life, but we will make it alot louder.
Just have a listen and you'll get the idea.

"F*** me it's rare I go to a gig where the first band is worth the entry money alone!! Dollar sent were f***ing A! Like The Wildhearts meet the Supersuckers! Ace choons and a f***ing ace attitude, pure filthy rock 'n' roll!!!!!!!"
Review from Punknews.co.uk of the Zeke support show.
Dollar-Sent kicked and snarled their way through a set of classic Mötorhead meets The Wildhearts-inspired metal dirge, and despite drummer Josh’s fears that the band had been hampered by lacklustre equipment the heavily pierced three piece gave a good account of themselves as a tight and technically gifted unit.
