Good news! The Figurines will be joining the bill

TUESDAY 1ST MAY

NEUTRAL: CLUB NME
THE ALONES + THE FIGURINES + THE SPIRES

Straight out of Stoke-On-Trent come The Alones, 4 swaggering guitar pop scally wags. They’ll be dropping in on May 1st to show Club NME that you cannot rock and roll without fantastic tunes, an attribute they possess in abundance…

Stuart Whiston, Mike Lo Bosco, Rob Lester and Tom Crompton are at the youthful heart of a band running into a horizon brimming with the promise of very big things. After support slots with the massively hyped, The Twang and The Enemy, the foursome have been gathering their own rapidly growing snowball of attention.

With echoes of New Order, early Echo and the Bunnymen and Oasis reverberating through them The Alone’s sound is indie music operating outside of the tight trousered fashions of the moment. For this 4 piece it’s their songs which are well heeled, resplendent with soaring melodies and huge, life affirming choruses.

Unbelievably they band have only been gigging as a four piece since last November yet their talents have come to fruition quickly. They are as yet unsigned but the music industry are currently sharpening their claws, preparing to scrap it out over who’ll be first to get them to put pen to paper.

It won’t be long before the driving indie rock of anthems in waiting ‘Silver’ and ‘Time is Right’ will embossed on the ears of fans of catchy guitar bands. As this beat combo say this is rock and roll with soul and energy…

Arguably they’re already best musical product to come out of Stoke, putting paid to the shadow cast by Robbie Williams over the credibility of their home town’s aural output.

With headline shows and gigs with Tiny Dancers and The Whip to come it’s only a matter of time before this band take on the mainstream. You need to check them while you can still see the whites of their eyes…
