Vic Galloway, BBC Radio 1.
"The Strands sound like a muscular outfit who blend the lad-rock tendencies of Oasis and Kasabian with good, old-time, low-slung riffola reminiscent of Led Zep, Black Crowes etc. Loud and proud with their eye on the prize."
Jim Gellatly, XFM Scotland.
"Hints of the Stereophonics with a bit of the Doors and Oasis coming through as well...Altogether creating a rather satisfying blend of driving indie rock.
Tomorrow To Soon is certainly one of those tunes that sticks in your head and wont go away."
The Strands are brothers Andrew and Steven Moore on guitars and Calum Bell on drums and formed in Nov 2006. Although they are only a three piece the band create a large raw powerful sound that is both melodic yet bursting with grunge angst. They draw on influences from the likes of AC/DC, Foo Fighers and BRMC to name but a few.
The band have built a strong following and played 70 plus gigs in the year they have been together have already headlined the country's most prestigious and respected venues including the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, Sound in Leicester Square and The Clapham Grand in London and headlined shows closer to home such as Glasgow's Barfly, King Tuts, Liquid Room, Caberet Voltaire and Jools Holland's Jam House.

The first band on are the Strands; a very pretty bunch of people who display a wealth of good taste when it comes to songs. Admittedly, before heading to the gig I had spent the past few days reliving my Nirvana years with a recently purchased copy of the live album, and the Strands hit that grunge urge head on. I was in awe of those Cobain-style vocals and tunes that meandered through the hall. It was heavy but sweet; melodic yet fuming. Ladies and gentlemen I love the Strands - please join me!
