About Me




QUOTES
"True rock'n'roll bands are a dying breed in this day and age…not this one. A monumental stage presence coupled with brilliant songs Medway legends Maker never fail to impress. Think a retro small faces delivered with a stonesy swagger - THIS. IS. A. BAND."
- BLACK & WHITE PROMOTIONS
"..Maker got the audience pumped before Pete (Doherty) came out and played Libertines and Babyshambles hits.." - THE SUN NEWSPAPER
BIO
Maker are a 5 piece rock n roll band: a psychedelic bluesy punch stirred with a fist full of soul.
Their influences range from the early blues legends through the stomping pop and soul of the sixties, to the raw power of punk. Coming on like the bastard child of The Rolling Stones, The Faces, Free, T-Rex and Primal Scream (to name a few); Maker deliver a fresh sonic swagger defined by their own bluesy, boozy guitar riffs and roaring hammond
Featured as support for Pete Doherty and The Bees, and most recently opened the mainstage at this years Zoo8 Festival, sharing the stage with Mark Ronson, The Cribs, Ash, The Hives, and many others.
