Shut Up Sidney is a political punk rock band local to Houston, Texas. They have been active for nearly four years now with a somewhat turbulent line-up. They share much in-common musically with bands birthed by the first and second-waves of punk rock, such as the Sex Pistols, the Exploited, Discharge, and so on, though they also boast a pointed political bent in the vain of acts like the Dead Kennedys and/or D.O.A.
