Tornado of Infectious Pop-Rock Melodies - Kerrang!

About Me


..0"For the proven soldiers who have fought and conquered. The warriors who have battled for the barrier. The disciples who have tasted the sweat of a brother. The pilgrims who cross borders in their endless crusade. The addicts who scrape change together for their hour-long fix. The followers who scream their lungs out gig after gig. The dehydrated corpses that swamp the bar at the close. The brotherhood who care for nothing more than the promotion of their cause. The ones who will never say die." - The General Chart-smashing, teenage rock band *Armstrong are touted as the UK’s answer to My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco and even The Killers. Based in Leeds, this rock sensation has cemented itself as one of the most exciting live bands in the UK thanks to a thrilling live show, extensive touring and self-promotion, and the help of a hit single.Free song downloads are available via the band’s website www.ArmstrongRock.com, alongside T-shirts, belts, tickets, CDs and thongs.


"A tornado of infectious pop-rock melodies" - Kerrang!"The Killers, The Foo Fighters and The Libertines all rolled into one - great rock riffs combined with keyboards, fast drumming, intelligent lyrics along with bundles of energy" - BBC Leeds"Intelligent, tuneful and IKEA flat-packed with stadium sing-alongs. Awesome. Dude." - Vibrations Magazine - Leeds"With a show as energy driven as this one and with the talent these five have combined, I can see them going far" - RoomThirteen.com"*Armstrong’s high-octane performance managed to touch the soul, warm the heart, invigorate the mind and move the body." - LSRfm"The most energetic bunch of musicians Ive ever seen" - The Beat Surrender
