Speedbird
Speedbird started out life in the mind of guitarist Rob Whelan many years ago. He started local legends "Coporial" around 5 years ago and they killed the local scene in Manchester and the Northwest with massive support slots for the likes of "The Damned". Coporial matched the speed and drama of old-skool power metal with a hint of blues a la "Down". Coporial earned quite a following in and around Manchester later on winning the Jack Daniel's Battle of the Bands in 2008. A new drummer in Matt Lawless and a much heavier and groovier sound and the band looks to be getting stronger than ever. After being let down by numerous singers, guitarists and bassists, Neil Podmore and Matt Lowe came along and they decided it was time for a change. SPEEDBIRD was born. With a massive line-up and a solid set of some massive tunes, melting classic hard-rock influences with each individuals style they snagged a decent slot at 2009's NABD Biker Festival in Cheshire and an immense support slot for "Viking Skull" in Manchester. Speedbird's unique sound and infectious energy always guarantee a warm reception and a lot of moving bodies and flying hair. Continuing to carve a name for themselves in Manchester and the UK (even a few fans stateside!) Speedbird is looking set to keep growing and growing and tearing down venues everywhere we possibly can. Everyone's invited so make sure you catch a Speedbird set as soon as you can. Turn up, Tune down, Rock out!
