Dave Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 There's a *HUGE* wealth of talent floating around Sheffield...but as many people know, it's *VERY* hard to make it in the music industry. Some of the local bands that I've had the privelidge to check out and have been mighty impressed by are: Tegan - Punky, "chordy" music that's just fun to listen to. Saw them numerous times last year, and they rocked out every time After The Silence - Quality rock outfit, very popular around Sheffield owing to their general amazingness, go see them if you possibly can! Existend - Relatively new band, starting their Winter "Rockarama" Tour in a few weeks...make sure you check them out! They're rock with gothic influences, and an amazin lead guitarist. I've seen them a few times, and they have to be my *HOT* pick for the moment. If I find any dates, I'll let ya know. Have you found any local goldnugget of a band? Let us know so we can all enjoy!!

A few I've heard this year are the Catch It Kebabs, Twisteye, Muffin (who've now split). also voice of brain are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckbirch Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 The Starlings are a new band that i caught supporting AMOR at the boardwalk last week. They are plying the deepend on the 12th Nov and the casbah on the 8th December. Worth seeing. Great front man. I think tickets are #3.00 on the door on the 12th and its rumoured they are gonna pack the place so you may not get in but worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
