OLD MAYOR - New Tracks Up!

About Me


Adam and Owen originate from the Cheddar Valley. As Old Mayor, they have been playing shows since 2005, and have shared bills with the likes of Boris, Russian Circles, Orange Goblin, A Storm of Light and ASVA.

"Dispensing with any kind of prettiness and light Old Mayor take the stage grinning like loons and it's an expression that keeps spreading over their faces throughout their set. It's on Owen's every time he finishes a blazing roll around his drums and settles back into an insistently solid beat, and it cracks across Adam's face every time his plectrum is poised to deliver its next crushingly heavy reverberating blow to the strings of his guitar. This is doom delivered by two people playing in perfect harmony and the effect is electrifying. The audience scream their approval as Adam leans into another of his guttural screeching vocal lines – they come few and far between and are all the more devastatingly effective for it. All around the venue heads nod in approval and submission, the front rows jostle for space as people lose themselves entirely in the noise. This is music to feel and be consumed by. As it should be. Rock. On." - Duncan Nicholas
