About 7 Inch Giants : Now taking bookings for next year!
Coming from a region where everyone sounds like the Sterophonics, 7 Inch Giants offer a breath of fresh air to the world of rock/metal. Cutting edge guitar playing, pumping rhythms and catchy vocals form a unique blend of rock/metal that’ll peel your skin off…and were not afraid of a guitar solo either!!!
That’s it for the self promotion bit… The Giants were formed in 2004 when Jim, Matt, Greg got together with bassist Elliot with a mission in mind to play the music we wanted to play. All of us have experienced the pub/club scene and were fed up with doing endless covers. With this in mind we basically locked ourselves in a room for a year writing and practicing our own original material. After a few support slots to gauge the public reaction we decided to go into the studio to produce our 4 Track EP debut entitled Empty Stage. Our influences vary from the Police to Metallica but our sound is our own….

Described as: 'like Soulfly if Trent Reznor were part of the band,' their debut album "There's No Profit in Truth", mixes the pent up frustration of acts such as Rage Against The Machine with the raging, highly charged riffs of classic Machine Head. Good, honest, politically aware and highly charged Metal at its best...
