33 was a Welsh metallic hardcore band from Swansea in Glamorgan.
33 was conceived as a vehicle for nihilistic singalong hardcore emulating the likes of Sheer Terror, Blood For Blood and Negative Approach. After a few years of activity and hiatus, a solid line-up cemented and what was previously a sideline for all concerned moved to centre stage mid 2010.
The backbone of the band remains guitarist Graham Rofe from Cardiff City Hardcore stalwarts Ironclad and local luminary Benjamin Phillips on vocals. Bunking the Intercity down from London are co-vocalist Anthony Sylvester (ex Dukes Of Nothing) and guitarist Barry Thirlway (ex Strength Alone). The whole thing is anchored by Ironclad drummer Andrew Paget.
The first fruits of the labour was a split 7" with Kill Life.
Band influences include Integrity, Cro-Mags, Sheer Terror, SSD, Negative Approach and Wu Tang Clan.
