TORRENTS (NEW DEMOS)

Well, well, well, my little Droogies!

About Me


In 2006 unsuspecting public audiences were introduced, seduced and blown away by enigmatic northern upstarts, Torrents. The determined four-piece have since gone from strength to strength, causing a stir all over the UK.
An emerging reputation as one of the North West's most exciting young acts follows a succession of assaults on venues all across, Manchester, Liverpool and London, including the legendary Water Rats, and an appearance with the Courteeners.
Awarded the accolade of Unsigned Band of the Week by Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music), Torrents have also received the support of Garry Bushell, and 2-tone ska legend Pauline Black who recently called by the studio to record backing vocals on an exclusive version of 'You Make No Sense'. Torrents have also bagged clothing endorsements with iconic mod brands Fred Perry and Merc, which beats shopping on Blackburn market.
Recent highlights include a performance (3 tracks) on Channel M's City Centre Social television show, a live session for MUTV, and two stints in Vada Studios with Matt Terry, renowned producer of the Enemy. Check out the tracks on the player and leave a comment!
Torrents recent support slots include The Rifles, Lowline and Exit Calm.

"This caught my attention, apart from this band look like they’ve got a nice set of haircuts…"
Steve Lamacq on 'A Certain Girl' demo
"(Torrents) bring a welcome energy and change of pace with their uptempo Jam-meets-Libertines ditties. They jump, sweat and gesticulate onstage, clearly enjoying themselves immensely...their energy is infectious. They can boast a charismatic frontman in Neal Burton and a vicious wall of guitars that evoke the angry young man thrashings of one Paul Weller."
