Maria Daines fronts a hard rockin' band playing original material written by Maria & guitarist Paul Killington. Hailing from Cambridgeshire, UK, they formed in 1996 becoming a fixture of the live music scene & making several TV appearances, garnering fans in over 20 countries. Featured on BBC & FM radio the band opened for US artist Pink at Cardiff International Arena in 2007. The concert raised over £90,000 for six animal welfare charities. Maria & Paul continue to work ceaselessly on the many facets of their songwriting with project pieces finding placement in TV/film production. Daines/Killington songs are published by NorthStar Music UK & available for artist consideration.
'I don't think the UK has given us such powerful music since the glory days of The Who and Led Zeppelin!
True rock is mostly about attitude and Maria has it in great supply! Her songs, co-written by guitarist Paul Killington, kick the proverbial arse.
It is clear at first listen that they are well on their way to musical greatness! But just what is it that makes them so amazing? I think it is the obvious enthusiasm that they put into every note of their music. The great heart and power of the vocals and the quality of the song writing are paramount, but, there is an indefinable thing that happens when someone is born to sing and perform and you experience that rare and precious gift listening to this music.
If you mix Janis Joplin and Melissa Etheridge and add a dash of Gretchen Wilson, you will start to comprehend the powerhouse that is Maria Daines'

Maria Daines: Treebone (Maison Alas; 65.41) *** Daines, in England, has the tremendously exciting voice of a blues diva in the making. Her bluesy rock album with Paul Killington on guitar and all other instruments tantalizes as the precursor to her straight blues recording promised for release later this year. Many vocalists go an entire career without reaching the rarefied heights attained by Daines on the edgy, atmospheric 'Ain't Nobody' and the potent ballad 'Bring Your Love Along.'

A "Listen to me" voice that could split bricks or blast the dust of every static thing within 30 yds - Like pebbles in a grinder - like biting a beer glass.
I don't cry so easily any more but your song for Bruce started floods of tears - it is just so unfair, so cruel that any dog - any where should have to go through this BSL absolutely stinks and anyone who supports it has no heart for life :(
