what a name, actually its the only result on google for "mcgalligog".
This was a collaboration of music tastes from the start. In 2006 Olly and Matt began sending songs and ideas back and forth giving each other a taste of what they each enjoyed. When they finally got together, the music flowed very easily. following the creation of a few songs they decide to look for the rest of the band. Ross was first recruited as the drummer having played with Olly in local bray/greystones band called shadowcraft. next came a slew of vocal tryouts, settling on Phil because of his onstage presence and the sheer terror in his vocals. Finally Darren was added to the group. An inexperienced bassist who we decided to try out. As it turns out, he learns fast. The band was complete.
Following our first gig with now disbanded Silver string, we have played in many venues.
participated in battles, just trying to get our name out there. we are recording a 5 track EP at the moment for promotional purposes. it should be done by june 2009. Until then we will continue to gig as much as possible. Until the world recognizes that metal is not all the same, and that nobody can hide behind a projected image of self vanity forever.
If there is any thing to be taken from this band, its this.
There are many people in the world that will tell you you're wrong for
liking a certain thing, or being a certain way.
I'm not saying accept everyone. Or anyone.
We do not like greed in the world.
We do not like society and its mask.
our songs represent this. Also, some personal ideas.
look behind the mask. Read into things. Never take what you see for face value.
And let metal live on forever.!!
