Bio
..DEAD LIKE HARRY.. ..Formed in Spring 2007, Sheffield sextet Dead Like Harry consists of an eclectic mix of friends brought together by their love of writing and performing music... ..Since their early teens, song writing brothers Matt and Sam Taylor have been most at home in the spotlight, hitting the stages of various smoky Sheffield bars, from the tender age of fourteen for charismatic front man Sam... J..oined by old school friend and vocalist Alice Faraday, talented rhythm section Robin Baker, John Redgrave and Adam Crofts, Dead Like Harry were ready to pen some fresh new tracks and put nearly a decades worth of material to good use... ..The result is a sound coloured by rock, blues, country and even folk influences, but which remains at its centre an honest, from-the-heart collection of songs written and performed by a group of young friends who want nothing more than to make great music... ..The growing interest in Dead Like Harry can be seen at their regular captivating UK gigs, and in their rapidly growing fan base. The act retain an innate showmanship live, whether showcasing their talent in front of 6000 (such as recently at Sheffield Hallam FM Arena) or serenading a fan’s girlfriend by moonlight for £20. This has led to further fantastic slots, such as supporting chart-toppers Scouting for Girls and being placed on the same bill as the legendary Paul Simon at the famous Cornbury festival in Oxford, as well as being picked to play at Glastonbury Festival 2009 by Q magazine and doing live sessions on major BBC radio stations... ..Dead Like Harry have been tipped as the next big thing from the Steel City and are currently collaborating with celebrated producer Alan Smyth (Richard Hawley, Pulp, Arctic Monkeys) to make stand out records that live up to the live hype... .. .. .."Gaslight what? Bruce who? It seems the real cowboys live just south of Barnsley.".. ..The Sun.... ..“A well-crafted, grown-up and thoroughly enjoyable strain of pop and all the better for it.”.. ..Alan Jackson - The Times.... ..“This could be the year for this Sheffield sextet, with their fine lyrics and musical diversity. This love tale is one to watch.” .. ..Poppy Cosyns - The Sun.... ..“Rolling keys, fluid guitar melodies, accordion and velvet vocal structures – Dead Like Harry play intricately-crafted pop in which no sound is superfluous.” .. ..Rachael Clegg - Sheffield Telegraph.... ..“I could drive for hours and hear each track over and over without realising, or caring, that I have just driven to the Moon.".. ..Ashley Scrace - Sheffield University Magazine.... ..“If I was 17, had just discovered Rebel Without A Cause and was spending my nights in romantic fantasies of desert highways and girls with wild hair and wilder eyes, then this is the band whose name I would have tattoed on my arm. Hell, maybe I’ll just do it anyway.".. ..Net Rhythms.... .."Strong of melody, rich in lyrical content and bound together by top-notch musicianship, Dead Like Harry's fresh take on traditional influences such as the blues, rock and folk is a real treat to behold. Surely fame beckons for this Sheffield-based six piece"... ..BBC Radio Sheffield.... ..“Know The Joy of Good Living is an involving mix of uptempo stompers and drifter’s laments. There’s something in the water in South Yorkshire, and I suspect it tastes suspiciously like bourbon…” .. ..Yorkshire Evening Post.... ..“Bruce (Springsteen) by way of Deacon Blue. An undiscovered gem.".. ..Sunday Mercury.... ..“Dead Like Harry are the Steel City's answer to Fleetwood Mac".. ..Sandman Magazine.... ..“...something like a Yorkshire E-Street Band juggernaut”.. ..Selby Times.... .. .. ..FOR BOOKINGS AND INFORMATION:.. ..Contact Sam Taylor.. ..Email: sam@deadlikeharry.co.uk.. ..
