Our influences include:Interpol, Radiohead, Muse, Jeff Buckley, Elbow, Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, The Smiths, Richard Taylor, Chris Storey, Paul Dennis etc
We aim to sculpt our sound on principles chiefly fashioned by Paul Dennis (professional road crosser and highway perambulator).
In the press, possibly more accurately, but just as confusingly, our sound has been described as 'electro-indie pop', 'dance flecked indie' and even 'twisted dance punk'. Hmm.
"This Is My Lawnmower buck current convention, but still serve up tunes we can all sing (and dance) along to."

"This Is My Lawnmower (better referred to as TiML) are a band to sit up and take notice of."

"I went to see a new local band called This is My Lawnmower purely because I thought with a name like that they had to be either really good or really terrible. Luckily they were really good."
"This Is My Lawnmower are a bit like biting into an initially regular looking burger to find it conceals loads of really exciting extra ingredients."

//This Is My Lawnmower are currently taking a break. We will be back soon with many new songs and a new lineup. Thanks for your support.
// This Is My Lawnmower are a young Manchester band who aim to produce music that is both subtle and angular in equal measure. If byproducts of their musical aims happen to induce dancing, crying or simply make people watch in awe (all have been known), then the band are hardly likely to complain.
