His new band Velvetstone are described as a rock band and have been compared to Bon Jovi, Savage Garden and Heart!
The band's official website describes Velvetstone as a seven-piece outfit with both male/female vocalists, full guitars, bass, keyboards and drums backing. The band apparently write all their own material and, I quote:
"deliver passionate, powerful, inspiring pop and will blow away all before them, shocking Britain's pop lovers from their comatose state - induced by an overload of predictable, derivative and formulaic manufactured product".
For a chance to see this live (dig out the leather trousers and grow a mullet, this could be a bumpy ride) they are to play Sound Republic in London on May 17th and the Britannia Pub in Margate on May 22nd.
