Influences! Were influenced by many things - sometimes musical, sometimes not.... Musically I guess youd look to The Pixies, Nirvana, Fugazi, Pink Floyd, ... oh to hell with it. I hate the whole idea of listing our influences - as if what we listen to makes what we play. and besides - we might be influenced by almost anyone or anything - I refuse to tot out anymore famous cool bands to try to impress anyone, and thats that...
The Procession, originating from Manchester to Cornwall are an alternative/rock/indie, quartet, with an unrestricted sound intent on knocking down the constraints of musical genres. They are currently based in the Midlands cities of Leicester and Birmingham.
All four members have varied influences, resulting in a no-boundaries approach to musical creation. Each contributes a different flavour resulting in a fresh and exciting sound. Although only formed in early 2006 they have built up a reputation as an energetic live act, with strong songs to boot. With over a hundred songs in the making, The Procession recorded their debut EP in 2006 titled "Johnny Got A Raw Deal". Received as a catchy energetic record, The Procession are currently working on expanding their sound pallet by applying the final touches to their next record, whilst creating and building upon further ideas for more future recordings.
The energy, variety, and enthusiasm of The Procession combined with the likeable charms, personality and power of the songs, all hints towards the prospect of a promising, exciting future for the band!

The Blessing & Black Carrot Record Deal Party! Saturday 12th July Doors 8pm ~ £7 Tickets The Musician, CLyde Street, Leicester
The Blessing has grown out of trip-hop cult band Portishead's powerful rock-driven rhythm section (drummer Clive Deamer and bass guitarist Jim Barr) with two young jazzers as its front line, in former National Youth Jazz Orchestra trumpeter Pete Judge and tenor saxophonist Jake McMurchie.
Like the popular and sometime Mercury-nominated Acoustic Ladyland, once described as sounding like The Damned with a saxophone, The Blessing couples hard-hitting, high-volume rock with wailing jazz-horn choruses. The group's flat-out drive, fiery virtuosity and strong, anthemic tunes certainly grabbed the audience, including the scattering of older jazz devotees lurking in the shadows like me. And those qualities, plus the association with Portishead's reputation, should bring The Blessing a lot of admirers, some of whom might well go on to discover a wider world of jazz and improvised music. - The GUARDIAN
