It's official! PUNK'D have managed to tour together for more than 6 months without falling out and splitting up (again)!
After the gruelling 30 date tour, which many critics said wouldn't last more than two shows, the band appear tighter and more focused than
ever - and even seem to be getting along - even after the much publicised (and somewhat acrimonious) break-up in December 2008.
According to one Daily Bollocks reader, all four members of the band were recently seen out ice skating together, and on a separate occasion Stevie-Boy Newton and Kev (Slob) Vegas were spotted at a Brierly Hill cinema after having watched the 3D blockbuster film "Avatar". When asked to confirm this, Slob told the Daily Bollocks, "Yes, we did go to a cinema together, but it wasn't a social thing. It was just for me to steal some 3D glasses for my stage gear. We're not an item or anything… Stevie-Boy is still a w***er"!
The tour (cheekily dubbed "The Credit Crunch Reunion Tour) saw PUNK'D perform at many local venues, but also visited top venues in Nottingham, Sheffield, Southampton, London and Northern Ireland. But surely one highlight of the tour must have been playing to a capacity crowd at The River Rooms, Stourbridge (the band's own local "stomping ground") in July.
PUNK'D bassist and manager, Dave Bass, told the Daily Bollocks, "Yes, the reunion tour has been a resounding success--and I'm really pleased that we've all managed to put the past behind us and get back out and play again. Things are looking very good for PUNK'D right now. Apart from regular gigs at all the best venues, we are currently in talks with a major record label with a view to releasing a self penned single in 2011. This could also coincide with a European tour and some major network TV appearances. PUNK'D are well and truly BACK!"

A brand new range of PUNK'D themed merchandise was
unveiled last week by the bands' production company, Kerrupt Records.
CEO of Kerrupt Records, Peter Jones (best known for his regular appearances on BBC 1 Dragon's Den) said, "PUNK'D have been knocking around for over 5 years now, and their typical audience is predominantly around the 40-50 year old mark. I want to introduce the
PUNK'D "brand" to a much younger social
group - particularly pre-school children. I believe that by brainwashing kids at a young age, you can fleece them for life."
Heading the new product range
(made by Chad Valley) is a PUNK'D themed colouring set, COLOR-A-PUNK, containing a simple drawing of the band, and a selection of coloured felt pens. According to a Kerrupt Records press release, "This product is designed to stimulate young minds, and encourage natural creativity. It's time to relegate the PS3 to the bottom drawer, and get back to
some time honoured traditional values!"

21st November 2009 saw the long awaited "first" reunion gig for local heroes PUNK'D--and it took place back where it finished in 2008 at The Wishing Well in Bromsgrove, Worc.
The band performed a blistering two-hour set--including all their most popular punk classics, (plus a few "new" surprises) to a capacity crowd, some of whom had camped out overnight in order to secure a good view of the stage.
Wishing Well manager, Tom Ayres, said, "It was bloody great to see the old buggers back here again. Always guaranteed a great night when PUNK'D are in town!" read the full article here
