About Me

“Emerging from the suburb of Blaby in Leicester, now world famous for giving us Kasabian, this young band is fresh air for everyone gasping for breath beneath heaps of “middle-of-the-road-acts”. It is hard to believe that the average age of the members in this four piece is 17. Stewart Nuttings lyrics are full of spot on observations from suburban life, heartfelt words on one-way love and witty poetry. With his engaging voice ranging from soothing to manic, Stewart is the captivating, mystifying and charismatic front man that every band needs. Add frantic drums and catchy strings from brothers Craig and Martin Shaw, and newcomer Alex Simmons, and you have The Legion. They are just starting out, but are already at a level that most bands will never reach: For this band the sky is the limit.
They have just finished recording their debut album during 4 intense days at Deadline Studios in Leicester. Catch them live at one of their upcoming gigs, and please check back for details on the progress of their debut album, set to be released by the end of summer 2008.”
"You know, these days there are a lot of bands that are playing skiffly Holloways music - the first band tonight Legion blow that kind of music into touch! Blues based indie with a serious tempo. It was sort of hard to feel the tune beyond the music but it was definately there and if these guys played in london they would get the angled hair cuts jumping like cats. Energy was running through their veins. Superb stuff and we’ll definately play these again, dont be fooled by their recordings - they are much better live.. " NO THRILL@S NIGHT @ THE PAVILION
