While most rock bands are all too focused on the riff, the Sheepdogs remember the importance of those other elements that make for great rock music: melody, harmony and groove.

To see them live is pure rock and roll jubilation, to revel in the splendor created by 3 part vocal harmonies and heavy hitting dual guitar leads.

Their latest album, Learn & Burn, is a beautiful blend of power and imagination, ranging from ferocious rockers to southern boogie and grooving psychedelia. Big guitars, stacked harmonies, vintage organ and piano skillfully colour each of the album’s 15 tracks, proving that these boys are as dedicated to the craft of songwriting and album making as they are to playing a dynamite live show. The Sheepdogs are an old-school rock and roll revival.

THE AMBER HERD

The Amber Herd are a five piece post punk/ alt rock band from Nottingham.

The band have self- released two singles and one e.p. to date and have spent the last year playing some very prestigious festival gigs at Bearded Theory, High Voltage, Headstock ?and Glastonwick ?as well as headline shows in London and Nottingham and supports to Dead Wolf Club and Milagres in Leicester and CUD in Nottingham.

In the past the band have also played with the likes of Delays, Sound of Guns and That Petrol Emotion at The Rescue Rooms and the Bodega.

Plans for 2013 involve more touring, including further festival shows. The band will also be recording and releasing their first full length album and will be debuting some of the new songs at The Bodega on 5th December.

Local media has said that The Amber Herd are “a cracking band…one to be watching”, “Nottingham’s best kept secret?” and “Mind blowing!”

Over the last year they have received airplay and played live sessions on BBC Radio Nottingham (the Beat with Dean Jackson, and John Holmes’ show) University of Nottingham Radio, Fly FM, Sherwood Radio and Trent Sound. The band have also been featured in The Nottingham Evening Post, The Derbyshire Times, Nottingham Live and Live@ magazines and appeared on podcasts for Leftlion, Nusic and Soundsashire.

“…. both blissfully melancholic indie and uplifting stripped-back folk and comes to a sprawling, open-mouthed finish with an almost Velvet Underground-esque wall of sound, acoustics flitting between prog keyboard stabs and all buried under Neil Beards’ darkly overdriven Mary Chain guitar. Nottingham’s best kept secret?” thiscitymagazine
