Let’s shine the spotlight on the powerhouse lineup bringing grit, attitude, and a whole lot of DIY spirit to the Kettering music scene. The URiNATORS are punk rock through and through, with a lineup that knows how to bring the noise. Leading the charge on vocals is the incredible Nicci Irons, with Dean Irons shredding it on guitar. On bass, you’ve got the talented Danny Hogarth, and keeping the beat is none other than Tom B Stone. Together, they’re proving punk is far from dead – it’s alive, kicking, and taking names.

A Punk Rock Renaissance
After a decade-long hiatus, The URiNATORS are back with a vengeance. Having supported legends like UK Subs, Anti-Nowhere League, and Vice Squad in their early years, this Kettering crew has been tearing up stages again since mid-2023. Their ethos? Keep it raw, keep it real, and always, always keep it DIY.
The band’s latest project – a Halloween-inspired acoustic set – has been turning heads for all the right reasons. Drawing inspiration from punk icons like The Distillers and horror-punk legends The Misfits, the set combines haunting original tracks with a unique homage to their influences. Think live acoustic grit, spooky b-movie visuals, and a DIY production ethic that’s pure punk rock.
And the best part? They’re just getting started. The tracks from their Halloween session are set to drop as a live acoustic EP on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer.
What’s Next for The URiNATORS?
2025 promises even bigger things from the band. Expect more gigs, raw energy, and maybe even a new single release. Want to stay in the loop? Follow The URiNATORS across all platforms to catch every update, gig announcement, and release:
