Massive influences coming from Nirvana , Seether , Pearl Jam and Guns 'n' Roses , focused on grunge style guitars but with a personal melodic touch to their songs which takes them to another place within music
THE GIFT - are the well supported and keenly followed rock four piece from Manchester , England .
Catchy rock songs written straight from the heart and focusing on the power of raw music . If you've been to one of their gigs you will remember them !!! from the quietest moment from the begining note of the song "LIES" to the blasting powerfull guitars of "POLLUTED MIND" they give their soul to their music !
...this band will go far , every person who hears them loves them and is always left wanting more...!
THE BAND...
HODGE - LEAD GUITARS
Hodge is the Idea man behind The Gift , writing the songs starting from riffs and developing them into the full songs you hear now. Influenced by listening to Metal and Rock you can hear these vibes flowing throughout the tunes.
Hodge is a self-taught guitarist , never had a lesson just picked it up as he went along and is now super passionate towards writing the perfect rock songs.
NIAL MARKEY - VOCALS/GUITAR
Niall is the powerfull voice right at the front of The Gift , spitting out his words with pure confidence and self belief. Backing this up with guitar with his sound coming from influences in Blues and Grunge, The Gift are lucky to have a singer who sounds as good live as he does in the studio as many of you will hear in the live shows, Niall is also a qualified sound engineer and this comes in hand down at The Gift HQ Studio and live gigs!
NEIL MYATT - DRUMS
Neil has been playing since school days and is a very strong technical drummer and a key part of the beat creation with Hodge at the beginning of the song writing stage. Has had many years experience with his best mate Hodge in bands all over Manchester. Neil is a strong force in the band and is the key co-ordinator in getting things organised.
