There are at least two bands called Duds. 1. Duds are a self-contained four piece, centred on sharp bursts of rhythmical energy and intelligent musicianship. Hailing from Manchester, United Kingdom, and forming in early 2015, they have made consistent progress towards a distinctive, future-sound. Their lyrics comment on the human condition and arbitrary, sometimes strange scenarios or themes. 2. Duds were a short-lived (post) punk band from Utrecht, The Netherlands, active in the late 1970s.
