Love Rocks Things Up!

About Me

The man is a genius!!

Tony Shoebox create a varied yet unique Alternative Rock sound based around infectious melodies, contrasting vocal harmonies and pounding drum beats. The unique line-up consists of two-guitarists, bassist and drummer, although the drummer becomes front man, and a guitarist becomes the drummer, during the average live show.

With around 4 years solid gig experience, performances are tailored to an art; with attention grabbing songs and high energy dynamics taking place.

Influences range from Idlewild & Bloc Party to Teenage Fanclub & Something Corporate- and this is heard through the different musical styles played and performed.

The band have shared stages with a number of bigger acts including My Latest Novel, Orko, Adrianna, Viva Machine and We Are The Physics.

Current Release "Different Days" is available for digital download via itunes , www.emusic.com & Sony Connect .


To book Tony Shoebox; please contact the band manager Gary Cullen either through Myspace or email .
