The band featured Graeme Slimin on guitar and vocals (who had played in the Wellington Oi! punk band <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/04\/sub-dominants\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"498\">The Sub-Dominants<\/a><\/strong> from 1987-1988), Matt Sanko on drums (previously of the notorious Palmerston North act <strong>Foisemaster<\/strong>) and Cale Hetariki on bass and vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Read more<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-1\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Drawing heavy inspiration from classic acts like <strong>Dead Moon, The Oblivians<\/strong>, and <strong>The Stooges<\/strong>, G.M.C delivered no-frills, high-energy punk rock that embodied the DIY ethos of the era. The band quickly became a fixture in the Palmy scene, playing regularly at local venues and events. They also made frequent trips to Wellington, performing at notable spots such as <strong>Thistle Hall, Valve<\/strong>, and <strong>Underground Arts<\/strong>, as well as appearing at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2001\/10\/punkfest-2001\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5894\">Punkfest 2001<\/a><\/strong>. One highlight for Graeme Slimin came in 2001 when G.M.C opened for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/07\/flesh-d-vice\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"247\">Flesh D-Vice<\/a><\/strong> at Harvesters Bar on Halloween &#8211; reuniting him with old tour-mates from 1987.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">In 2001, the band self-released their only known recording: the <strong>D.I.Y.<\/strong> EP, a fittingly titled snapshot of their raw, unpolished sound. G.M.C remained active in the Tokaro hardcore\/ punk circles until their split in 2003. Following the breakup, Graeme and Matt went on to form the <strong>Turbojugend<\/strong>-affiliated band <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/black-chrome\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2097\">Black Chrome<\/a><\/strong>.
