Man Of The Hour

About Me


Man of the Hour are an energetic 5 piece band hailing from Merthyr Tydfil. Experimenting with elements of pop-punk from the various reincarnations of the genre over the years, from the early days of Blink 182 and New Found Glory to the more recent influences of Motion City Soundtrack and Farewell. Bringing unique, original combinations of guitar rhythms and soaring, addictive melodies to an often crowded genre, Man of the Hour set out to sound like nothing you've ever heard before, whilst at the same time resembling a long lost friend.
Having been featured on Radio One countless times, and played numerous shows around South Wales, Man Of The Hour's 'instant knack for partying' is proving to be very popular. 2009 will be a big year for Man Of The Hour, so watch out!
