Dylan (Vocals)- The shout with clout, this man can spout - no doubt! He rocks the mic like a vandal and gets away with socks AND sandals.deep rooted vocals that saw with a cutting edge thats raw like thor the god of war. Hold tight, this dog can bite! Different strokes for different folks but this man can rock anyones boat. Dylan has gigged with Manchester Bands for around 8 years and some say he has the 'Dave Grohl' edge with great range and lyrical prowess to boot. A lover of Rock, Soul and Indie, this is incorporated into his vocal style.
Joe (Beats) - He bangs the drums! Keith Moon inspired and blessed with natural ability and flair, he's well known for livening up any venue he sets foot in. The smallest and loudest of the awesome foursome, Joe's been devastating audiences all over the country with many ear piercing rocking rhythmical performances. Playing and session drumming with numerous fortunate bands during the past 10 years, he's developed into a well accomplished and polished performer on and off stage! Someone to write home about!
Mark (Bass) - Has been with the Band from the start, adding sensitive, exuberent and driving Bass Riffs to Joe's outstanding, ear shattering beats to form a rhythm section to rival, nay piss on any that has gone before. Widely regarded as the most eligible bachelor in his parish Mark is both the youngest AND the tallest member of The Times with a remarkable wit and a penchant for alcoholic fluids. Amongst Marks favourite bass players are John Entwistle, Flea and Himself!
Rik (Lead Guitar) - Rik has played lead guitar for over three weeks now and has already mastered the art of the G-string. his style is wild like a problem child, his finger work is outrageous - and so is his guitar playing! - In reality he's played for over 10 years gigged around in the late 90's in a few North West Bands and made it to Denmark for a small tour with a Danish Label back in '99. With a background from Metallica and Jimi Hendrix to Joe Satriani and Steve Vai to all modern day rock and roll the tunes aint gonna stop coming for a few decades yet!

From a sweaty, small rehearsal room in Manchester to winning 2 regional battle of the bands and developing an ever increasing fanbase.....in just 12 months!!! Who are The Times?
'The Times' are the band you've always wanted! Hailing from South Manchester, 4 hard working lads bringing a youthful exuberance and intense power into the Music Scene that is currently defunct of big guitars, stomping rhythms and blistering vocals! Delivering songs from driving rock to chordial melodies, this is a group that demand attention and will pick you up off the floor and lead you into the bright light that is ROCK n ROLL!!
With a sound coming from 'old skool' rock legends like 'Led Zep', Guns N Roses' and 'Jimi Hendrix' to more modern rockers like Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and Audioslave mixed with a touch of guitar guru's like 'Joe Satriani' and 'Steve Vai' this group has a promising and refreshing prowess that the World has been waiting for!
