The band are currently promoting their newest album Surfin' Taniwha and what a brilliant album it is.
Deadly Sam and The Summertime Bandit
Sam Kimber-Bell is back with new his band, aptly named Deadly Sam and The Summertime Bandit! Deadly Sam he is....you may know him as the brilliant lead guitarist of Dick Dynamite and The Doppelgangers!

The Spinoff proclaimed Contenders latest song as one the best underground releases of 2018.
