1. The Negatives from Br… Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists called the Negatives.
1. The Negatives from Bradford(UK) formed in 1978. Realsing there single "Love is not real" one of John Peels favourites. They have been on and off since they started. Recently The original and only drummer who has been there since the start Tino, Decided to leave the band. Leaving Rik(Guitar/Vocals) and Toni(Bass/Vocals) to get a new drummer. Still coming strong in 2008 with underground gigs happening all over the UK.
2. The Negatives are Punk Rock directly from the heart and brought out without any doubts and it sounds like a kick in the head.
In 1999 the band members got together and talked about starting up a punkband. They had discussed it before several times while out drinking but it never came to anything. They wanna have a band with the attitude "back to the roots punkrock".
They started to write some songs and this was something from the heart, the music they've always loved, so they really enjoyed playing together again.
Some of the members have all played together before in other bands like Existenz, The Bristles and Skalatones during the past.
In 1999 they recorded seven songs for two different demo-CD's, the "Punkrock Revolution" demo and the "The Negatives" demo. The two demos was out in 2000 and were sent to several fanzines, magazines, radiostations and record-companies. The response was great.
In 2001 they played some gigs, including support for The Business. They contributed on a couple of compilation CD's and where featured in quite a lot fanzines and webzines. They were nominated "Demo Band Of The Year 2000" in Sweden's biggest punk/metal magazine, Close-Up.
In March 2001 they entered the same cheap studio once again and recorded the three song demo "Riots In The Suburbs" and it also got great response.
They got a second guitarist and started rehearsing with him when suddenly vocalist Fredde decided to leave the band. What to do? They phoned their long time friend, Jyrki, once the vocalist for Swedish early eighties punkband Existenz.
Later that year they once again entered the local studio to record two new songs, the demo was only intended for the record-company so they would get to hear the new vocalist Jyrki.
This two songs was later in the autumn of 2001 released as a Split-single, both CD and picture 7-inch, with the German band Electric Hellclub. They have two song each on it. It was released on the new German label Trash 2001 Records.
In March 2002 they recorded their debut album "Rules And Regulations" in Bottrop, Germany and it was released in October 2002 on the same label as the Split-single.
The inspiration comes mainly from good old-fashioned Punkrock, in the veins of never forgetting their roots.
In the end of 2004 the band got a brand-new record deal with the German label Core Tex/Bad Dog Records from Berlin. And in the autumm of 2005 they released their brand new kicking CD "No Truth - No Justice" which have 12 great Punk Rock songs on it. Trash 2001 Rec. released the LP-version of the album.
The band had some line up changes in the past but the singer Jyrki and the guitarist Svegis has been in the band since the first record.
They have a new bas-player called Nasty and he is now the third member who has his roots in Finland. He started in the band in the summer of 2006. The drummer Harri became a member in early 2005.
So the band is now a 4-piece again as they were from the start and it was meant to be - simple and raw as possible - with one guitar, bas, drums and vocals.
A new album will be out in 2007.

The Negatives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a place yet to be found
Well maybe that is true, but I would rather be a dreamer
Than be stuck just spinning around
Because I know there’s more to be had
I want to see where this road leads
Because I know there’s more to be found
And I would rather fall while flying
People say I’m in my own world, and I’m bound to lose my way
And that’s okay with me
Because even in my short time, I know that getting lost
Is the way to see the things you need to see
Because I know there’s more to be had
I want to see where this road leads
Because I know there’s more to be found
And I would rather fall while flying
Than keep my feet stuck on the ground
Because we are young (We are young)
And we never will grow old
And we are free (We are free)
To choose to not do as we’re told
And we will know (We will know)
That mostly we won’t have a clue
And it’s okay (It’s okay)
That we do not know what to do
Because I know there’s more to be had
I want to see where this road leads
Because I know there’s more to be found
And I would rather fall while flying
Than keep my feet stuck on the ground
The Negatives' song We is an anthem about living life and exploring all the possibilities that this world has to offer. The beginning of the song sets the stage for a character who is deemed as someone who is detached from reality or from being focused on what others consider as practical. However, the singer disagrees and argues that he’d rather be a dreamer, and hope for infinite possibilities than be stuck only in one realm of thought. For the singer, getting lost and wandering is a process that reveals as much as it could be terrifying.
The song's central theme is an encouragement to explore the unknown and to challenge oneself to break free from the parameters of safety that can limit our vision and aspirations. The chorus repeatedly asserts that the uncertainty is part of the journey, and being young offers the freedom to be different, to make mistakes, to deviate from what is expected, and to embrace the thrill of the unknown. The singer acknowledges that not knowing what to do is acceptable, and admitting that we are lost can be beneficial in discovering new experiences.
We in its entirety is an invitation for listeners to go on a thrilling adventure, to embrace the uncertainty and enjoy the journey as it unfolds. The song's message is that life is all about taking risks, discovering new areas, and going after dreams, no matter how unrealistic they may seem to others. It's about pushing through fears and taking chances, even if it means failing along the way.
