"We started in about March 2007 as an idea that we hoped might get
somewhere. At first we were shit and now we are still shit, but
listenable and perhaps slightly enjoyable. Since then we’ve played a
number of shows, most of them have gone pretty well. We need to thank
everyone who comes to our shows cause there aren’t too many of you.
Especially the guys from TDKM. ... Recordings, all done
by Jay Thomson."
Durban Based four piece Punk / Ska outfit Sibling Rivalry pack a punch with Durban After Dark.
The album was made available for free download from their site (which no longer exists)
Members:
Steve - Drums,
Matt - Bass & Vocals,
Badger - Guitar & Vocals,

"It’s immediately obvious that these guys are deeply influenced by the
nights and sounds of their city by the sea, and are striking out in
their own direction with a pocket full of reference. Yes, Stone City is
in many ways similar to LA or for that matter Sydney or any other surf
city around the globe, but what makes Durban Durban is that it is an
African city, and it shows in the songs on this album. Getting into
their stride, “Our Concert Arenas Are Dingy Bars” makes various
references to the familiar landmarks and capers that anybody from the
city can recognise as the authentic experience, and not the one
reflected in glossy brochures aimed at tourists. This is the grittier
subculture of the city which spends time ‘under the Umgeni Bridge’,
rocking the parking lot, dopping quarts at the Willowvale and skating
deserted midnight streets."-Travis Lyle (Levis Music Mag)
"Over the years, Sibling Rivalry have gravitated from a straight up punk
rock sound to something that more resembles “world music.”
Influence-wise, Sibling Rivalry are like a sponge. They soak up a little
bit of everything they hear and see around them, throw it in the
Sibling Rivalry blender and bang it out with heart, passion and
conviction. On Durban After Dark, there's a strong influence from
California prog-rockers RX Bandits, Cape Town's The Rudimentals and I
often found myself singing Sublime's line, “Down here at the pawn shop.”
But Sibling Rivalry smear those influences with African rhythms,
seriously-grooving basslines, punk rock and Mary Jane, and what you're
left with is 100% their own. Anger, frustration, heartbreak and broken
hearts, dingy bars and a sense of brotherhood and togetherness that's
contagious. By now, they're probably the biggest band in Thailand."-
Yusuf Laher (Blunt Magazine)
"Infectious, accomplished, capturing rock 'n roll with spontaneous
abandonment wrapped up with a swaggering rhythm section and you have an
album that will keep you pushing the repeat button"
