The Abner are an enigma wrapped in a riddle. They've been dubbed by most as a 'partycore' band, and I suppose this definition is accurate. The Abner write music twinging with random jolts of hardcore, jazz-styled funky verses and lyrics running the gamet from Dave's pained yelps about chat show hosts to some of the more silky-smooth and conventional verses about love and marriage.

The Abner's guitarist Apple uses a guitar tuning that involves dropping his lower strings down whilst leaving the higher ones at their standard notes, meaning he can create chords (and dischords) unavailable to the majority of other bands. This really helps create the band's unique sound.

Oh, and they scream about things being "TWO NINETY-NINE AT SAINSBURYYYYS".

Simply amazing :) Catch them live if you can.
