THE TABLOID PRESS

About Me

Requiring an outlet for his internal jukebox, attention-starved blonde-mop Miles recruited the services of grossly-talented sticksman Richard and bass-pounding poster boy Joel. Completing the line-up on lead guitar is putty-fingered spaceman Jamie, finalising a sound that struggles to remain constant. Trapping ingenious rock hooks within infectious melodies, The Tabloid Press are the sound of a band that cut through the mediocrity of any generic blandwagon providing instantly memorable and literate songs of aggression, love and newsagents.
