Mark E. Smith

Mark E. Smith (born 5 March 1957) is the lead singer, lyricist, co-composer and frontman of The Fall, a renowned and idiosyncratic offshoot from the UK post-punk / new wave music scenes. Mark Edward Smith was born to a working-class family in Broughton, Salford, in Lancashire, England, moving to nearby Prestwich, near Bury early in his life. He formed The Fall (named after the novel by Camus) with friends after dropping out of college at the age of 19. He gave up his job at Salford docks shortly after to devote his full energies to The Fall, and has continued to do so ever since.

Hexed Hands

Hexed Hands were formed in 2010 by Jordan Gelling and Jahn 'Lex' Teetsov after befriending one another during a music course. Following a very short period as Mt. Green and The Clings, the duo were joined by Jonathon Dawes and assumed the name Hexed Hands. The band spent most of its early days playing one-off gigs at local pubs while tracking demos at home and in the studio on analog tape. They would give out sample CD's of those recorded demos wrapped in newspaper after live shows to members of the audience.

Modern Alarms

Dreams needed to be followed and passions expressed so 2009 gave rise to Modern Alarms
Now with a solid line up the band are producing intense, exciting, groove driven tunes that to experience live gives a true sense you're immersed in something special that very rarely comes around in music.
Confident and engaging and with ambition bigger than comprehension their ability to create music that evokes emotion in their audience is there for all to see. Born from a true respect of music and a desire to give their audience and themselves a reprieve from the daily grind.
