they started loess than a year ago as a
garage band in the suburbs of Manchester,

music.
the four friends had wild dreams and people
said they were mad, lead singer Dan
Galloway had the idea to start a band,not
much has came out of manchester music
wise for at least ten years, so they were due
some success. so he grabbed his three
friends who were inspired by the brit pop
history and got a band together. they started
with nothing. four lads on a council estate
dont normally come out of life with a seris of
awards including BRITS for best album and
best band.
at the start there was not much going for
them, they had failed all of their exams and
they had no hopes for jobs, at 17 they all left
school in search of a future but after a month
or so of getting nowhere the band re-
grouped and started to practice.
Soon after they had themseves a few songs
and a first gig at the local pub, glasses and
punches were likely to be throwen as this
was one of the hot spots in manchester
centre, the gig went well, although the boys
had to crawl out of the window to get a lucky
escape, they then got a gig at a local youth
centre qalong with another band ‘the recalls’
it was the recalls manager that picked up on
the tallent of the boys, he soon after got
them an e.p. and a week later a first propper
gig at a local concert venue it was all going

for three monthes, the longest ever a song
has been at the top of the charts, the boys
were living the dream, sex, drugs, rock ‘n’
roll were no problem for these boys, but

back album, which is due out next month

we talked to front man Dan Galloway
about the tour and what he thinks of the
change in music over the past 5 years.
he said that he was not interested,
“ we have the story,
we have the songs,
dan galloway ”
he seemed confident that this tour will go
well and the album will be a sucess, he
lived up to his bad boy attitude in the
interview and he showed me that all the
other bands are nowhere near their leauge
and that he beleives that they will hit
number one in the charts and will have
another stack of aawards to collect this
year they have already been nominated for
the lifetime achivement award, i think most
of the fans would agree that they deserve it
with all that they have been through, Dan
galloway, pictured to the left was found last
year at a recording studio, with
another band, this suggested that he had
moved on from the turning and they would
be no more, but those romours were
closed today by dan when he said “i was
just trying out some new material with
some friends its just the press blowig things
out of proportion again like every single
time someone does something in the music
industrey,
” the music industrey these days is terrible
it should be like back in the day when music
was good and musicians had a chance,alot
has changed since then, so called big
bands these days only have one album then
they dissapear off the face of the earth, its
rediculus!”
