Like Punk rock, like sheds, then this is for you.

You can view the Official Video for the Official Song official for shed Week 2009 here.

Cardiff based punk band Punks Not Dad have written a little ditty about their shed and what they get up to in it, the majority of the lyrics would ring true to many a sheddie and the tune will be a hit with sheddies of a certain age, I am more of a prod rock fan myself, but any songs that’s about sheds I will listen to. So get your ripped readersheds TShirt on and start pogoing. punks_not_dads

In Me Shed

There’s a place where I wanna go be on my own when I’m feeling low Only place that I wanna be – ONLY PLACE WHERE A DAD CAN BE FREE! If you want me – you know where to find me If you need me – you’ll know where to look – I’ll be… In me shed – reading the paper In me shed – stirring up some paint In me shed – sorting out me jam jars In me shed in me shed In me shed – fixing a puncture In me shed – oiling the lawnmower In me shed – having a quiet fag In me shed in me shed in me shed Theres a place where I wanna be – get away from the family Where a bloke can be a bloke put me feet up have a smoke If you want me – you know where to find me If you need me – you’ll know where to look… In me shed – varnishing a picture frame In me shed – mending a toaster In me shed – doing the sudoku In me shed in me shed In me shed – listening to the cricket In me shed – sampling me homebrew In me shed – cleaning a sparkplug In me shed in me shed I’LL BE IN ME SHED! In me shed – looking for the Duraglit In me shed – repotting me tomatoes In me shed – having a quiet nap In me shed in me shed In me shed – got a paraffin heater In me shed – got an old leather sofa In me shed – got a nice bit of carpet In me shed in me shed In me shed – got a Razzle and a Mayfair In me shed – got a handy little workbench In me shed – got a transistor radio In me shed in me shed In me shed – I’ll be readin’ the paper In me shed – and stirrin’ up some paint In me shed – sortin’ out me jam jars In me shed In me shed In me shed In me shed In me shed In me shed IN ME SHED!

  1. This is awesome! It sounds great. I guess there will be a Clash of the Garder in my place when i get back home. This one is cool! ROCK on.!!!

  2. Hey guys has the album been released yet? It was going to be released in May as I getter from previous comments. I listened to a few of your songs and they are awesome!

    1. Hi James – greetings from the Dads! Yup, the album was actually released LAST May! Just £7.99 from our website – http://www.punksnotdad.co.uk. Go to the 'Music' page and there's a button there that'll let you get your grubby mitts on it! There's also a preview of our new single there too – "Can't Get It Up" – which should be being properly release soon.

      The website also has an option to 'Join This Site' (bottom right-hand corner) – so you can keep up with what we're doing. Go on… you know you want to!

      Best wishes

  3. Just listened to in me shed and it is fascinating. Well done on that one. This is really cool!

  4. That's great. I think there's an opportunity for someone to form the Gardening Clash – I'll be Microprogation Jones, which leaves space for Joe Strimmer, Cane Topper Headon and Paulownia Simenon.

  5. Sid,, our radio show is only "on" the college radio station. I'm a Dad and a shed dweller as well. Would love to give Trent Radio a promo.
    I'll try to figure out how to email you via PND site.
    crazy dave vasey from canada!

  6. Hi Dave – thanks for the comment! Pleased that we can help fulfil all your shed needs 😉 Feel free to play us whenever you want – it's nice to think that the young College folks might enjoy the sound of their dads making a bl**dy racket! Our album release isn't until May – but I can send you a promo 4-track EP sampler CD if you want to play it. Just let me know where to send it to!
