PAGE 44 "ANSWERS" Brummie Indie pop kids Page 44 know a good tune when they write one, and importantly, so do there avid fanbase, and the promoters who book them. Probably One of the last bands to break from the myspace music portal, Page 44 have seen good words from NME, well billed festival shows, tv appearances, and a strong local profile build into this, there first 'proper' UK release. Already heading the indie store charts on pre order, a mainstream chart campaign is not out of the question. Neither a haircut band, nor a fad, Page 44 deliver live, in the studio, and most importantly, in the listeners ears. The checklist reads well, genuine fans, attending genuine gigs, good tunes, quality recordings, great live, and ready to move onto the next level. In Page 44 's case, the 'Answer' is in the question, and the band provide them all.... Forgetting the usual hype, spin, rubbish and bluster you normally read, Page 44 could well make the Lord Mayors show, and we are proud to be helping them on their route to the top.
