The talented musicians are the real deal and guarantee to take you back to ‘When You’re Young’ with their performances that give the same high energy, angst, aggression, passion and soul of their idols!

The high quality of their shows was rewarded with them being selected as finalists in the National Tribute Awards and they have also been awarded a tour with the O2 Academy network.

They not only play the hits of Weller and co. but include B sides and album tracks rarely performed by other Jam tribute bands – Jam fans won’t be disappointed. So - if you are ‘In the City’, find yourself in a ‘Strange Town’, are ‘Going Underground’ or are simply ‘A Boy about Town’ - you have to see A Band Called Malice whether you either loved The Jam or if you just want the exhilarating joy of a classic gig.
