My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/17/2005
Band Website: themightyroars.com
Band Members:

Lara Granqvist: Sings & Bass

David Pringuer: Drums & Sings

Martin Pilkington: Guitar & Sings

Influences:

Masturbation and The Quo

Sounds Like:

"The London bred guitarist and drummer ratchet up a Sex Pistols storm over which Swedish singer-bassist Lara Granqvist vents like Karen O morphing into Jello Biafra. The Mighty Roars are primal amphetamine bubblegum..."
Q MAGAZINE

"Finally one of London's finest bands find a home at a label that suits them and 'Sellotape', backed with the wonderful 'Jude & Sienna', roars out of the speakers and into your marrow."
MUSICWEEK

"This band are going to be HUGE! Make sure you see them early so that when they've sold out three times in a row at Brixton Academy you can bore your friends about being there first..."
ARTROCKER

"The formula that made the Pixies great: simple, shithot punk led by charismatic vocals..."
DISORDER

"Twelve raw slices of highly evocative vocal imagery, brutal guitars and bone shaking beats...sheer infectious energy...8/10"
ROCKSOUND

"...a vibrant new band that hail from London and Europe. This is their debut single with all the best bits of the yeah yeah yeahs, the rezillos and b52's..."
ROUGHTRADE

"A rollicking rock and roll rodeo ride: PJ Harvey, The Pistols and Yeah Yeah Yeahs....love it!" - Shaun Keaveny
XFM 104.9

"Anglo/Euro outfit The Mighty Roars took the stage with more enthusiasm than the newly arrived festival goers were expecting wearing a skin-tight hot pink PVC super-mini, lead singer Lara belted out a fantastic set of rapid, loud, in-your-face punk rock which woke up the sleepy crowd and got the festival going with a bang..."
BBC (Isle of Wight festival review)
