DRIVEN SERIOUS
Driven Serious have recently released their second album. Festival favourites, they are an original folk-rock band mainly based in the North East of England. Critically acclaimed with energy comparable to such bands as the Levellers and the Waterboys.
Driven Serious - new album: “Look On These Works is an incredibly engaging listen, whether it’s the monumental sounding strings that carry us through this adventure, or the war-like drums at the start of the title track, it’s an impressive experience.” (Narc Magazine)
Driven Serious—performance: “I suppose you could file Driven Serious under the banner of folk-rock; but they are so much than that. They have a vibrancy that you can virtually see thrumming off them when they play, passionate and with the hand-brake well and truly off, and with a vibe that has had people likening them to The Levellers to The Pogues to The Smiths to The Wonderstuff”. (The Crack)
STEAMTOWN
Described in the press as 'the real deal...with a well crafted set of original songs that are totally contemporary but could pass for 1957 or 47', Steamtown are a folk duo from Yorkshire with a guitar, a Banjo and an accordion. This is Modern Yorkshire Folk delivered with a smile and acoustic music to make you tap your feet.
“Musically there is a mix of traditional and modern folk containing some exceptional storytelling….. If you like your music with a genuine folk club feel to it and with lyrics that will make you both evaluate life and smile, then this album is for you.” -Fatea Magazine review
Steamtown released their second album in October 2022, and have had songs from the album played on BBC introducing and local folk and Americana radio shows.
They are currently enjoying playing as many gigs as they can whilst working on material for the third album.
