About The Council

The Council have disbanded. :( But fear not. The Silvertown Explosion will fill the void: The Silvertown Explosion's MySpace

Add the video for Wake Up (Thousand Yard Stare) to your MySpace profile by copying and pasting the code below:

2nd Best UK Band of 2006 as voted for by readers of The Mag

Gritty, meaty, rich and gravely, the sound is thick and satisfying like a chicken casserole on a cold day.. Catch them while you can.
(Sarah B, The Mag)

The Council are a Cream-meet-Led Zep combo for the rock god-deprived Noughties.....Tighter than Phil Lynott's leather trousers and accompanied by a cracking Hammond-player..they deliver maximum wattage heavy rock that you, smalltown America and your dad could all lap up.
(Beatmag.net - independent music magazine)

The music is very immediate and instantly likeable, although at the same time quite laidback..This isn't pre-packaged tripe, nor is it manufactured for money and greed, it's purely about the music. Because of this fact The Council will never reach the heady heights of 24/7 fame, instead they'll have to put up with respect from their peers and a few turns on 'Later with Jools Holland.' 'Too good to be famous?' possibly.
(Pete Worral, RoomThirteen.com)

THE COUNCIL are a young, three-piece acid blues rock band from London. Combining hard-hitting riffs and relevant lyrics as a backbone to their unique and exciting blend of the blues. They are described by many as "the only band that matters in London..."

Their intention;

"To make the best music we possibly can to the best of our ability and to reinstate the integrity once associated with British rock music. We maintain full artistic control of our output and only work with those who share our enthusiasm and views to insure our musics quality, beauty and innocence. We produce, pay for and own our music, always struggling against the climate of corporate control and oppression, to bring you what you know is missing - if it doesn't work we've only ourselves to blame..."
