The Control

Its the music and the love of it nothing else ....

About Me

Four lads from The Midlands, Stoke on Trent area, who met through college and decided to start a band in January 2008. All four members clicked together and within weeks were creating tunes that were unique.

The Control went into the recording studio on the 8th and 9th of March and the songs that were recorded can be seen in the music player box, so take a listen.

Watch out, The Control are going to be the hottest band out of Stoke on Trent since the beastly Motorhead!

So far we have supported:
Look See Proof

Heres a little taster of what you can see from The Control live, this isn’t a great video, so come see the action live.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/19/2008
Band Members: Joe - Vocals
Offering the stage presence of a true professional front man whilst having one of the most unique voices in Stoke on Trent.

Rich - Guitar
The ’Hendrix reborn’ of the group, adding tasty riffs and smooth rhythms into the songs, giving the alternate sound which every band is looking for.

John - Bass
The maestro of almost any instrument you can think of, this guy gives an incredible bass line to every single song performed.

Greg - Drums
The ’Joker’ of the group, along with having one of the best laughs, the drum skills this guy shows are amazing, keeping the group tight with simple beats when needed but can also show off his mad skills when the time is right.

These 4 members bring together the band ’The Control’, watch out for these lads, they’ll be hitting England harder then a tonne of bricks!
