Bio
.. .. .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Above - Video for 'Left'... .. .. .. .. .. ..Above - Video for debut single 'Islands'... .. .. .. .. .. ..Above - The 100% unofficial band shot and amateurishly edited promo for 'One up on you'... Sara Sanchez – Lead Vocals/Guitar.. Martin Knight – Bass/Backing Vocals.. Chris Marsay – Guitar.. Mister Nivelles – Drums.. Please visit www.thefavours.co.uk for the bands biography... .."The Favours - 3 blokes and a lady rocking power punk pop gems. They've a sharp ear for a tune, too. Ace!"....NME.. ..“The Favours have been the Fly writer’s band of choice to bug me about of late and their indelible power-pop anthems are maybe why”.... The Fly.. ..“Explosive guitars, a tight rhythm section, rowdy rock songs with pop melodies, and a singer who sounds like Debbie Harry-gone-grunge mark the four-piece out as the best female-fronted band to emerge from Britain in years.”.... Lisa Verrico, The Times.. ..“This band are so polished, so sharp, so blindingly brilliant that compared to them every other band here today are like kids playing in a dressing-up trunk.”.... Artrocker.. ..“Sara Sanchez is an absolute star – a teenage witch who grunges her guitar and sings feisty great dollops of tune. A scraggy looking punchy rock band keep the airbrush perfection and rock chick posing down at ground level (almost). I’m gibbering by the end and dollar signs are spinning in front of my eyes like those old Donald Duck cartoons when the rich Uncle turns up. I find myself texting an A&R contact. Crazy or what?”.... whisperinandhollerin.com.. ..“Guttural bass lines and searing guitar work, backed by a drummer who’s clearly mastered his art were all trumped by beautiful chanteuse/guitarist Sara. Her ebullient strumming to ‘Kill’ belied a delicate frame capable of generating the power of a wind farm in a blizzard. This lady has a beguiling stage presence.”.... The Crack Magazine.. ..“The Favours combine CBGB’s female vocals (ie. 1974) with a Pavement/Pixies punch in the groin. Hard to believe, yet they pull it off and crank it up 3 notches. They bring the culture and angst of a city and country exploding with talent the likes that haven’t been witnessed since the days of The Jam and The Buzzcocks.”.... Newyorkhotlist.com.. ..Reviews of debut single ‘Islands’..:.. ..“Islands rocks along with jagged guitars and a vast chorus and deserves widespread radio support”..... Music Week.. ..“If this single is a true representation of their forthcoming album, The Favours could well have a classic on their hands, I can’t wait to hear more”..... Rhythm and Booze.. ..“Blending Blondie-esque vocals and the kind of hook Elastica would have been proud of, there’s plenty to like about this single from The Favours. Picked to play at last year’s BBC Electric Proms, it won’t be long before they find a bigger audience”..... Press Association.. Email thefavours@hotmail.com to join the mailing list! -

Hey. Hows it going?
Just to let you know I've invested in some new printing presses so we can now print much larger quantities of full colour flyers, leaflets, posters etc. If you've got a big gig coming up, check out my website for some amazing launch deals on leaflet printing, flyer printing and poster printing.
Hope I can help you out sometime.
Take care and keep up the good work,
TOM @ StressFreePrint.co.uk
