Liverpool’s Top 11 bands for Summer 2009

Posted on 15 July 2009 by Alec Joyce

Howdy partners. This is my Top 11 bands to see in Liverpool this sunny summer. Why 11? Because I had 10 little rustlers then I thought of one more little rustler.

All these bands with the exception of top three are very young and exciting. Some of them may be break up in 6 weeks and and some may last forever but ain’t that the the beauty of Rock N Roll?

1. The Transdimensional Interstellar Cupboard Wolves of the Infinite Universes

What do they sound like? With a name like that who cares?

2. Metro Manila Aide

The new album is record breaking and the live show is a joy to behold.

3. The Drellas

Back with a bang and some big shows under their belts, this could be the
summer of The Drellas.

4. Brass Neck

brassneck

Heavy f***ing metal. Singer Vic Moore reminds of Max Cavalera. Heavily
political and a heavy dose of thrash metal is the perfect remedy for
general angst.

5. Mothers Mess

Young, mad and reckless. Libertines crossed with Dustin’s Bar Mitzvah.
An exciting live prospect.

6. Fly With Vampires

New recordings slowly appearing and slowly turning heads. Their strong
vocal harmonies set them apart for the rest.

7. Fraktures

fraktures

Shiny happy people. Faster, punkier and more hit tracks than they know
what to do with.

8. The Temps

thetemps

All the cutting edge and dry sound of the Horrors and the raw minerals
of future greats.

9. Anodes

anodes
Widnes based, rehearsing and performing in Liverpool. Anodes are ones to
watch. A brand new rock group to sink your teeth into.

10. Watkins

watkins
Improving sonically with each live performance. Bloc Party crossed with
Camera Obscura. A delightful variety of lead vocals from the three Watkins
singers. www.myspace.com/watkinsband

11. Tied Up

tiedup
All the hair and style of the greatest rock n roll band in Liverpool and they’re
still getting ID’s for ciggies. www.myspace.com/tiedupband

    Hey! I like this, I know one or two of the bands quite well too nice to see the temps up there!

    It’s cool to see someone doing something online about local bands!

    I’d like it if you could check out my band; Big City Mist, our sounds somewhere between guns n roses and led zeppelin. We’re debuting on the 26th we’ve got a couple decent demos up check em out!
