About Me


In the last four years, melodic rockband A Day's Work from Alkmaar, The Netherlands, has grown to become known in the Dutch clubscene with promising performances at Melkweg, Paradiso, Elysee Montmartre (F), 013, the Parkpop Festival and great reviews. The band is characterised by its energetic live performance, strong vocals, powerful guitars and catchy melodic songs. The press has compared A Days Work to Muse and early U2.
