Информация о группе

Towers of London are a controversial punk rock band from London, England who formed in 2004. Their music mixes elements of hard rock music with '77-style British punk.

The band have divided the opinions of the British music press since their emergence in early 2004, gaining favourable reviews from some music media and extremely negative from others with whom they have had rivalries. Towers of London are well known for their energetic live performances and outrageous antics, both onstage and off.




In 1999 a band was formed named The Tourettes, featuring Dirk and Donny Tourette (real names Francis and Patrick Brannon), the brothers had been playing together in garage bands since secondary school. The Tourettes played in a glam punk style, which has been described by some sources as "a post Manic Street Preachers rock 'n' roll rush".

As the years went on the band aquired bassist Tommy Brunette and a drummer named Snell. But in 2003 the Tourettes were disbanded. They formed a new band in 2004 named the Towers of London, adding a guitarist from Morecambe nicknamed The Rev.


Blood, Sweat and Towers

The band signed to New York independent record label TVT Records in early 2005 as a result of restless touring in the United Kingdom. On the label they have released a string of singles, prior to their debut album being released, "On A Noose", "Fuck It Up", "How Rude She Was" & "Air Guitar".

In the summer of 2005, Towers of London performed at two festivals in the United Kingdom: Reading and Leeds Festivals and Download Festival. The band's performance was recieved well, but due to fighting backtage after another group allegedly stole their property, they are now banned from returning to the Download Festival. Lead singer Donny Tourette was brought before Cambridge Magistrates Court in June 2005 for criminal damage during a show at Cambridge Anglia Ruskin University in February 2005. Donny was said to have been swinging from an overhead cable which happened to pull down a canopy and broke scaffolding. He was ordered to pay £775 of compensation, court costs and fines.

During June 2006, Towers of London released their debut album Blood, Sweat and Towers. It was produced by Stacy Jones and Bill Lefler. The album features thirteen tracks, including the four singles they have released to date.


TV series and Major support dates

Guns N' Roses invited Towers of London to open for them on two of their 2006 summer UK tour dates, Dirk commented; "Guns N Roses? What more can you say? We're going to have it this weekend!". During the summer of 2006 the band played on the main stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Bravo TV are currently airing a ten part TV series about the band, after camera crews followed them for around for a year. The show, named simply The Towers of London, features footage of various performances including the 2005 Download Festival which saw them banned from the event. Various clips have already been released on the Internet, one which shows members of the band apparently assaulting a member of the public after being provoked. The show launched on Thursday, October 19 at 10.30 on Bravo.

Dirk Tourette had an altercation with American band My Chemical Romance in which he allegedly threw a lit cigarette at the band's drummer Bob Bryar at their instore performance. Members of the band, who attended because of "free booze", got into a scuffle with My Chemical Romance's tour managers.

In October of 2006, Towers of London supported another of their musical heroes, this time in the form of the New York Dolls, on three of their UK tour dates in London, Liverpool and Glasgow. The band are currently gearing up for the release of its 5th Single, I'm A Rat. It was originally planned to be released late November 2006 but is now due to be released late January 2007.

Тем, кто любит Анархию... в исполнении Мотли Крю, эта новая формация придется как нельзя кстати. Очень зажигательный материал. Разухабистость панка не дает завернуться пиджаку благодаря классным вкраплениям харда. Трудно выделить какую-нить композицию - они все очень привлекательны, каждая со своим занимательным ритмическим рисунком. Хотя пожалуй те, что выходили синглами, и можно выделить: On A Noose, Fuck It Up, How Rude She Was, Air Guitar, I'm A Rat.

Соло по звуку чем-то Слэша порой напоминает (кстати есть много достойных соляков), отсюда и пахнет Ганзами, походу возникают ассоциации с ранними Мотли. Ну, и четкий британский панк заправляет всем этим делом.

Очень качественный жирнючий звук. Все линии прослеживаются четко, но не обособленно.

Как для дебютника - просто бомба! Рекомендую. Зарядитесь позитивом по самое "не могу"...

Towers of London - "Air Guitar" - просто бесшабашный, яркий клип с британской панкушной атмосферой
