TESTTONE3

LISTEN UP TO OUR ROCK AND ROLL!!!

About Me


TestTone3 are a York-based band formed in December 2004 and specialising in a marriage of drum machines, classic breaks and phat synthesisers with funky basslines, loud wailing guitars and catchy rock vocals to create the bastard offspring of dance music and rock...

Highlights for the band so far include interest from Channel 4 and Broadband TV programme makers, coverage in The Sun Newspaper's online Battle of the Bands, critical acclaim from BBC reviewers, playing at The Moor Music Festival, and airplay on pirate, local and national radio including talksport's Mike Mendoza Show and XFM Manchester.

The three musical mavericks behind TestTone3 – Adam Gauton (Guitar, Vocals), Richard Precious (Beats, Synths, Programming) and Andy Precious (Bass, Backing Vocals) – are well accustomed to gigging and providing crowd-pleasing performances with their charismatic stage presence. With this in mind, they are determined to make TestTone3 into something very special and look forward to a successful future as one of the most innovative genre-crossing, full-on rockin’ bands of our time.
