The band was founded in 1989 under the name “Ankry Simons”, but changed their name to “Steakknife” with the release of their first record “Godpill”. The band has had several line-up changes.

They are the good conscience of punk rock! What began under the name “Ankry Simons” back in 1989 and has been winning the hearts of fans as “STEAKKNIFE” since the first album is still a highlight of the scene and a guarantee for great live shows. Confidently and without looking sideways, they concentrate on what they know best: PUNK-ROCK.

Their stage directions states: “Steakknife are a very loud band… and are not liable for any damage caused by an undersized sound system”. Lee Hollis, one of the great personalities of the scene, is the frontman on the microphone, who became famous not only through his time with the “Spermbirds” and “2Bad”, but also through his books, readings and spoken word performances.
