"I am now loving Less Than Me and their debut album 'Crawl Walk Party'......Less Than Me have captured a lot of power and energy, you can certainly tell that they are passionate about their music and that they do everything to the best of their abilities, these guys are fun and talented, check them out."
5/5 Alternative Vision

"...these people know what they're doing.....I hope that this band find it in them to give people a taste of what they've made as a nibble leaves you dribbling and salivating for more. This band have produced an excellent sound.... Their sound is very fresh and marketable!"

"When it came to ‘Crawl, Walk, Party’, the debut album from Plymouth quintet Less Than Me, I had a good feeling. The music is very varied between the ten songs....We Tried To Give It Up’ is remarkably styled. It is one of those tracks words cannot describe. The only way to be touched by this song is to hear it.......There is so much energy put into creating something powerfully explosive."
11/13 Room 13

"Martin Crocker pulls some awesome vocal performances out of the bag on this album alongside some brilliant musicianship from the rest of the Less Than Me crew....All in all, this is a cracking offering - easy on the ear and accessible for all."
7/10 Die Shellsuit Die

"If you ask me LTM is a band meant to grace the mainstream....Overall, the album is catchy in its variety and great guitar play, but also and foremost thanks to Crocker's signature vocals...."
92/100 Concrete Web

" This is Less Than Me doing what they do best - melodic rock you can’t help but sing along to, love songs with a sting in their tail, powerful basslines, explosive riffs and captivating harmonies."
24/7 Magazine

"Crawl Walk Party is full of Incredibly High quality songs, with no filler tracks"

   About Less Than Me - Aug/Sep Tour Up Now!


Forming late in 2006, Plymouths Less Than Me have spent the last few years creating and twisting their wide and vivid vision of what their alternative sound should be.

The 5 piece are an incredibly hard working, individual act who constantly attempt to avoid the pitfalls and cliches laid out by so many genres. Their sound is built up around huge hooks, sublime guitar tones, strong harmonies and polished grooves. Originally starting as a pop act, the band have slowly warped and outgrown sounds to morph into their current form. They are so much more than a run of the mill Rock Band and contain more than enough depth to be worthy of your attention.

Releasing their debut album "Crawl, Walk, Party" through Lockjaw Records in late 2008, Less Than Me immediately took these songs to the people, playing a huge amount of shows between then and late 2009. Traveling the country in a variety of different beat-up vans, the act were proudly involved in many tours (Including one non-stop 17 date 2009 jaunt) as well as many one off dates and festival appearances. The live environment is where the band truly come alive, with the songs taking on a new life in this setting. The band are a tight, rehearsed and professional act that never fail get a foot tapping or arms in the air.

Taking a break from Live shows in late 2009, the band focused heavily on writing for their second album, which they are aiming to record sometime in 2010. The new sound is a massive progression into Less Than Me's sound and is stronger and more planned out then ever before. Rather than simply producing the same album twice, the band have once again completely re thought their music, attempting to get even closer towards the pinnacle of what they want to hear. Each note and rhythm is meticulously organised, each arrangement is pushed around and discussed to achieve the greatest results.

Lyrically, the band have been focusing on making these new works incredibly personal and obvious. There are no metaphors or trite nonsensical ramblings here. Each song meaning is laid out bare for the listener to hear. Tracks featured in their live shows already cover topics such as where they're from, growing up, nostalgia to what it's really like to be a UK band in 2010.

The band are currently previewing their new material in a set of targeted tours around the United Kingdom. They also have a new music video for "Without You" from Crawl, Walk, Party - which was filmed and edited by Director Carl Shanahan in early 2010.

The band have a wide and varying interest in a vast array of musical genres that they all believe contributes towards their sound in some shape or form. They strongly believe in getting their hands dirty - touring and rehearsing hard and giving 100 percent to everything they do.
