Autonomads

**Autonomads** are a DIY punk collective hailing from Manchester, UK, known for blending raw punk energy with ska rhythms and dub influences. Formed in the mid-2000s, the band channels grassroots activism into their music, tackling themes like anti-capitalism, social justice, and anti-war sentiment through sharp, politically charged lyrics. Tracks like *All Quiet on the Western Front* and *No Mans Land* showcase their knack for merging urgent messages with infectious, genre-bending grooves, while releases like *From Rusholme With Dub* nod to their roots in Manchester’s vibrant underground scene.

With a fiercely independent ethos, Autonomads have built a reputation through relentless touring, DIY releases, and a commitment to community-driven spaces. Their work, including the introspective *One Day This Will All Be Gone… Everything NOW!*, reflects both their rebellious spirit and a deep connection to grassroots movements. Whether shouting against systemic inequality or weaving dub textures into punk anthems, they remain a rallying cry for dissent and solidarity.
