Boom Band, The
The Boom Band
The band is the brain-child of guitarist Matt Taylor of The Motives and Snowy White Blues Project, and drummer Steve Rushton who you may have seen regularly playing with Imelda May and on Jeff Becks RocknRoll Party. Matt and Steve did a few gigs together in 2012 and decided to get their own project together. They managed to enlist the services of Jon Amor, Marcus Bonfanti and Mark Butcher on guitars and vocals, Paddy Milner on keys and vocals and Scott Wiber on bass. Yes thats right, four guitarists! The material is an eclectic mix, with everybody contributing songs and sharing lead vocal duties. There is in parts a strong flavour of blues, southern rock, a healthy dose of country, funk and even a smattering of retro-pop! A first-class collection of tunes which were great fun to record and were very eager to get them out there for you good people to enjoy.
