Inner terrestrials we run things
Inner Terrestrials (also referred to as iT!) are a punk band from South London, England. Originally formed by Jay Terrestrial and Fran Webber, their first gig was in February 1994. Their music is a mix of punk, dub, ska and a touch of folk, with lyrics that are more often than not aggressively political and cover subjects such as anarchism, animal rights, land ownership, the class system, war and many other subjects. Completely anti-establishment, they prefer to deal only with underground and DIY distributors (distros) and collectives, and as such became "legendary" (according to Peppermint Iguana, The Bolton News, and The South Wales Evening Post) in the underground punk and squatter scene in the UK and across Europe.

Former
Paco Carreno (formerly of Conflict) came in on drums for the debut album in 1996. Paco stayed with the band until 2006 when he took a break for health reasons. Before he returned in 2007 Inner Terrestrials drumming was covered by Kevin (Headjam) and Michel (Six-8). In 2013 Paco's health again meant he could no longer continue, and Martin (Los Albertos) drummed for the band for the 2013 touring schedule. Paco died on 20 February 2015, at the age of 49.
