Dynamo Garage are a five-piece band born and bred in Birmingham UK, now living all over London.
Formed in 2001, the band's first gig was in the garage of guitarist Max Jones, after which the group is named. Since then they have played pubs, clubs, old cinemas, bingo halls, beaches and bonfires all over the UK.
Last year they travelled to Madrid, Spain, playing at the inaugural ‘Abril no tan cruel festival’, getting coverage from national newspaper ‘El Pais’ and being played on national rock radio. They are currently recording an EP, Landlocked, at SARM studios London, with Aaron Horn, which is set for release in April, and have been played by XFM's John Kennedy, who calls them “A band that's definitely worth checking out”.
Dynamo Garage are made up of drummer Alex Jackson, guitarists Max Jones and Chris Shipley, singer Sam Overs and bassist Jim O’Reilly, and are currently playing and putting on nights all over London to an ever-growing fanbase.
"Dynamo Garage consist of five raffish young men from North London who make considered and indeed considerate guitar-based noises which are subtle and spacious and thoroughly twinkly." Fierce Panda.
"There's something mystical and sea-shanty about this group. Comprising a Smiths like acuteness with a weather-worn rusticness, that ellicits an ocean bound briny drunkeness that threatens to send you under but leaves you most enthusiastically waving not drowning." The Fly.
