(Alkmaar, 1995 – 2000)

Meaning Bandname: The name is a somewhat whipped joke. When Disciples Of Tonka aka DOT and Convulsion stopped at the same time, some bandmembers continue as Convulsions Of Tonka aka COT. After half a year the musical style changed drastically and the bassplayer and singer were replaced by more “professional” musicians. This all happened in the shared rehearsalspace in Parkhof in Alkmaar. A singer meets a nameless band without a singer and the joke BoyCOT was made which stayed the name of the band.

Bio: Boycot was a political anarcho punk band from Alkmaar, started in 1995 and gained a lot of attention with their debut 7″. ‘Only Stupid Bastards help Epitaph’, which was supported with an anti-Epitaph postcard action. They played fast, raw, crustpunk with enough variations. Lyrics against religion, animal cruelty, homophobia, greedy Multi-Corporations and an continued diatribe against the sellout of punk rock: “No NOFX, Fuck Offspring, Slay Green Day…”. Their first recordings were released in East Europe as a split-tape with Jobbykrust. Furthermore they have released splits with Argue Damnation, Insane Youth, Yuppiecrusher, Distress, Betercore, Tuco Ramirez and Fleas And Lice. They played many shows in Europe and did a tour through the USA in 1999. In the beginning of 2000 it was time for something new, so they decided to quit. After 2000 the band has done numerous reunion concerts in various line-ups. Often more concerts were done with serious practising but there was never a continuation of the band
