PERMISSION TO ROCK

About Me


Permission To Rock is one the foremost rock tribute acts currently playing the circuit today. Playing songs from some of the worlds greatest rock acts, with precision and accuracy second to none. This Midland based five piece having been amazing crowds for the last 4 years – with an explosive wall of sound – that is not only a tribute but a compliment to bands whose song they perform.

In 2005, Permission To Rock were formed with sole purpose of bringing Classic Rock anthems back to where they belong, local live music venues. So Gaz Martin (vocals), Paul Sambuca (guitars), Rob Lloyd (guitars/keyboards), Martin Quarry (bass) and Mark Cartwright (drums) delivered a show unlike many had seen before, raising the roof on many a rock venue as they went.

When asked to support ex - Guns N' Roses drummer, Steven Adler's band Adler's Appetite , Permission To Rock set the bar higher, for other rock covers bands to try and follow.

Then in April 2008, Rob Lloyd decided to part company with band. It was then that guitar virtuoso Stevie-Boy Newton of punk rock tribute outfit PUNK'D joined the band. His eclectic style and onstage presence carving a brand new chapter into Permission to Rocks history book! And off they went again entertaining the masses with there innovative style.

But disaster struck later that same year when enigmatic frontman Gaz Martin through in the towel in late September due to unforeseeable personal circumstances, so Ashley Cooper of Deft Leppard was drafted in to hold the reigns for any outstanding dates 2008.

So the search began in late 2008, for a temporary frontman, to see the band through some important dates. Permission To Rock knew Gaz Martin's' shoes weren't going to be easy to fill, but after several phone calls a temporary frontman was found in the guise of Adrian Marx , a seasoned professional and classically trained vocalist, who'd worked with the likes of Bob Catley & Tony Clarkin ( Magnum ) , Tony Mills ( Shy / TNT ) and Pete Boot & Simon Lees ( Budgie ) to name but a few.

So now as Gaz Martin's' returns to his post of fronting one of the hardest working bands in the UK today, Permission To Rock bring you an all new show. Now with more power, more energy, more swagger …they really are bigger, faster, harder then ever before – PERMISSION TO ROCK – truly are the Ultimate Tribute to THE MONSTERS OF ROCK!!!!
