Medusa Touch

About Me



Many thanks to the IT boffins at

for converting the above video from tape to digital for us. Cheers Nic.

We are an unsigned classic heavy rock band based in the Heart of England with a vast set list ranging from AC/DC, Guns 'n' Roses and Thin Lizzy to Megadeth and Metallica. All these excellent covers are blended together with our own original material.
So, how did the Rock Band Medusa Touch start?
Medusa Touch was formed from the merging of the remainders of 2 successful UK Midlands bands - One Month's Notice and Magus (formerly V). Both bands were very well supported in their own right around the Midlands' gig circuit, appearing at well known rock venues such as MAG rallies, Custom Rock & Blues Festival and the Robin Hood (Dudley) to name but a few.
Allison, bass player and lead singer from Magus, saw One Month's Notice perform live a few times around the Midlands and occasionally jammed with them on stage. Firm friendships grew and, eventually, when the One Month's Notice singer emigrated to the USA and left the band, Allison and Bryan (the drummer) from Magus joined forces with guitarists Trev and Rog from One Month's to create Medusa Touch - and that same harmonious rock line-up has remained since Christmas 1999.
Medusa Touch has always played a range of classic rock covers blended with our own original material, creating a unique sound and style played with passion and love of rock music. This firm belief in the future of true rock music has produced 2 popular CDs of our own material.
The combination of Alli's powerful vocal style, Trev and Rog's twin lead guitars, Bryan's driving double bass drum kit and close vocal harmonies, all blend to give Medusa Touch a unique sound.
We are also an experienced live band with the ability to please crowds. Whether it be as a support band, sole act or headliner our blend of classic covers and turbo charged original material has built up a loyal following.
