About Me

theGEKKO are an energetic blend of crunching guitars, pulsating bass, powerful drums and melodic vocals which fuses together to create a glorious explosion of rock!!
In The Press:
"[the Gekko are] seriously fun, energetic rockers... Blistering Apology and buoyant 12.15" - The linc
"We get back to Dry Bar in order to see The Gekko bringing their set to an explosive end. The lead singer is throwing himself around the stage whilst still managing to scream lyrics into the mic... Entertaining to watch and the crowd are loving it" - guestlistmusic.blogspot.com
"A high octane performance of driving guitars and smappy rhythms" - Wigan Evening Post
After another successful year in 2008 with the release of Testify, we are back in the studio writing our next album. This promises to bring together all the elements, new and old, that have made The Gekko what it is today!
So you've been warned!!!
