   About The 48


The 48...

NEWSFLASH!

(with fanfare...)

We've been working hard on our debut album... and we're pretty excited about it! Should be available as both a digital download and CD over the next 2 months or so. Keep checking back for samples of the new tunes and artwork!

The 48 were formed in October of 2004 with a view to amalgamating the acoustic styles of the likes of Ryan Adams and Turin Brakes, with driving guitar riffs and a definite funk edge. Since then, the Edinburgh fivesome have released two highly acclaimed CDs (an untitled 5 track demo and the current EP ‘When We Were Kids’), been featured on XFM’s ‘MySpace Cadet’, opened Fresh Air FM’s John Peel Night, been a finalist in Forth and Clyde 1 FM’s ‘Rock Against Racism’ and most recently secured a slot in the final 30 (from over 2500 bands) for the UK-wide O2 Undiscovered competition.

Currently, the band are working on their first full album, which should be available later this year, and gigging around the UK. Feel free to check out the tunes and any feedback is greatly appreciated.


Our new EP is available to buy

If you'd like to purchase our latest EP, "When We Were Kids", simply click the CD cover below and follow the instructions (remember to let us know your mailing address!).

Let us know if you're having any problems with it :-)

£5.00 (inc. P&P) - seven original tracks from The 48


This would make for a great tour...

Hi The 48s,

A new song just popped by from the studio to my MS profile. “I seek”, a catchy poppy number, interpreted by Kelly's smooth voice crisped by me singing harmonies.

Enjoy !

Spyder 1.4.45 for Mac OS X. MySpace browser, friend adder, messenger, and commenter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


You coming? Black Tape w/ Monotonix 9th May 08

The Times gave the new Monotonix EP 4 out of 5 stars: "Already famous for their astonishing all-action live performances, the bassless Israeli hard-rock trio make their recorded debut. The noisy Body Language displays an undeniably appealing pop heart, best caught on the brutally swinging No Metal, the fierce On the Road and the fine title track. Yonatan Gat is a guitar strangler to match anyone, though listeners can only imagine the burning cymbals.

Hear ye, hear ye, pirates. After many moons, the Big Hand debut album is finally waiting eagerly in the wings and is set to dazzle upon the main stage of life! Yes, its set for release, and its gonna blow your socks off. So...............
...........to celebrate this wonderful occasion, get your dancing shoes on, and please grace us with your presence at the Bongo Club at 7pm on Friday 8th Feb, for a superspecial limited edition launch gig (and get your hands on a sparkling new copy before the less fortunate outside our good city walls)! Featuring of course ourselves, plus the incredible Bombskare, and many guest musicians from your favourites such as The Ruffness and Myagi to help spice up the party. Get yourselves the remedy for the winter blues, grab your friends by the hand and lead them in the ways of Zorbic rightousness, and come on down for a dazzling night to remember...
