Heroes
All the members of NG26.........for following their dreams and NEVER letting anyone stand in their way. Anthony & Wendy Topley (the band's manager & is also Chris & Jon's parents), Mick & Kay Shaw (Rich & Rob's parents), the girlfriends and wives of the band members, and the entire NG26 crew from A to Z. This entire group of wonderful people are what makes NG26 possible and each and every NG26 show.

ABOUT THE BAND....
2 sets of brothers formed in 1998 as a covers band and have developed their sound into what has become one of the most original on the UK music scene. The band has toured the UK extensively and continue to go from strength to strength, growing musically further and further and stretching the boundaries of hard rock. The brothers are known for their intense live shows and dedication to playing, performing over 50 gigs in 2006 alone. The fanbase constantly increases with every performance, with fans coming back time and time again- a true testament to a great live band. NG26 have gigged with many great unsigned acts and tribute bands, and have been on tour with established acts Tygers of Pan Tang, Cyclefly, Pro-jekt, Malpractice and Kill2This. After many years of die-hard live performances and the constant evolution of their superb and awe-inspiring songwriting, NG26 entered Parr Street studios in Liverpool (where Marillion, Genesis and Coldplay have created hit albums) to record their 3 track demo, receiving glowing praise by music press and fans alike. The band entered Hive Studios in Derby mid February 2006 to begin the recording sessions for their highly awaited debut album, 'Break Away'. The album was released on October 31st 2006, and is currently available at all NG26 shows, to order on the official NG26 myspace page, and selected HMV and independent stores in England and Scotland.

NG26....Draws interest around the world....Just listen to what people are saying about NG26!
"This is quite simply one of the best debut albums that I've ever heard from an unsigned metal band"
- Insomnia Magazine
"What we have here are very well delivered, well played and arranged tracks that sound somewhere between early Metallica and later Killing Joke (not a bad combination, huh?). The sheer volume of power that this band produce for a four piece outfit is purely outstanding which is a great reflection on just how well this band can play. Live, this band is faultless!" -Mark Sesin, Insomnia Magazine
"'Break Away' is one hell of a debut album, from one hell of a set of musicians! I might even go so far as to say this is just what modern metal needs right now."
- Bubblegum Sluts Magazine
"Heavy Rock with a metal edge in a groove driven yet melodic intimacy." - cdbaby.com
"NG26 must be the best metal band in the area and possibly the best unsigned metal band in the UK. Live, this band is faultless. With a bit of luck NG26 could go a long, long way, they certainly deserve to. Why this band haven't been signed up by a record label yet is anyone's guess, they have it all- the sound, the look, the energy and the passion. It is surely only a matter of time before NG26 start to receive the national and global recognition that they so richly deserve." - Insomnia Magazine
This band certainly has much to offer it's listeners. Original, unique sound unlike no other band, great lyrics, kick ass vocals, bass, guitar and drums, good lookinG lads. Tons of pyro, and a balls out kick ass rockin show, that will blow your speakers and your mind! So my advice to American record labels out there.....SIGHN THIS BAND NOW!!!!!!!!! THESE GUYS DESERVE IT!
