The band was formed by brothers Dave and Joe Harris in 1997 after Dave's
original band The Sussed (92-97) had split up. Growing up in the
streets of America’s steel city, the boys had turned their working class
lifestyle into music and continue to do the same 13 years later in
2010. The Traditionals toured in Germany in 2006 with Evil Conduct,
Hardskin and 4 Promille. Continually playing since the beginning, The
band is currently working on a fifth release. The Traditionals will be
playing at the 2011 Punk and Disorderly Festival in Berlin, Germany
followed by a small tour in Europe.

We like to remember our roots and would like the Punk and Oi! movement to come together once again so we can continue to have a venue to speak our minds and have our say.
