Description

SEIL LIEN- Launching their album tonight, this wonderful hard edged and soulful band are the spine tingling realization for the songcraft of one Marie Claire White, Glasgow born singer songwriter and artist. Having recently imprssed all supporting Goodbye Mr MacKenzie on their comeback tour, Marie Claire also joined them on stage fulfilling the Shirley Mansun role brilliantly. A wonderful voice presenting splendid rock noir tales of sensuality and despair, this is beautiful stuff that might suit fans of PJ Harvey, Patti Smith and Nadine Shah. MESS East London quartet crafting powerfully distorted, female fronted guitar rock. The sound of the band is inspired by many facets of life like empowerment, rebellious outbursts and the feeling you get when you've just had enough. The band's stockpile of songs pay homage to music that will make you want to dance, sing loud and crowdsurf, like hard rock, grunge, punk and garage. This is MESS an all girl band apart from the boys.
