The Waking Hours from York, England – “Hold Me Back”
By Jenny May on Mar 30, 2009 in Bands, Featured, Reviews and Commentary | Tags: Bands on Twitter, Myspace, Shows, The Waking Hours, York
For the last couple of days I’ve been listening to The Waking Hours, based in York, England – tuning into their MySpace page and playing their songs to the occasional passer by.
“Hold Me Back” is a great track. Barny’s powerful and unique voice, somewhat reminiscent of Jim Morrison from the Doors, sits in nicely alongside the more current sound of the 4-piece indie/rock band made up of Barny R (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Nick Wright (Lead Guitar), Phil Greenhalgh (Bass/Backing Vocals), Drew Shaw (Drums). The chorus is catchy, the band is tight with high energy drums and guitar – I would hope more people get turned on to this new, up and coming unsigned band.
The Waking Hours UK dates:
