The Tommies

Exploding onto the mod scene with a sound described as “The New Generation of British Beat Music” – The Tommies were certainly a force to be reckoned with. A fusion of crashing guitars, pounding drums and enough vocals to sink your stereo - The Tommies created your favourite songs both live and direct in your living room.

Having played with some of the UK’s finest talent – The Kooks, The Feeling, Reverend and the Makers, The Bishops, video nasties, Nic Armstrong – to name but a few! And playing such legendary venues as the world renowned Cavern Club and Water Rats here in the UK and CBGB’s and The Paradise Club in America – The Tommies earned a reputation as an explosion of raw live energy!



Their first ep was met with raptuous response and The Tommies soon joined forces with the Who producer, andy macpherson and Nottingham legend mark gamble to produce their infectious debut - "the face of it"



"the face of it" was released via Decca's former little brother - Reaction Records and is a fine example of pure british pop, so get down your local independent and get nostalgic with The Tommies!!!



Think infectious harmonies, think crashing guitars, think a shedload British musical heritage distilled for the naughties - think THE TOMMIES!!"

have the personality, the looks and of course the songs to go a good long way! - Mark Hagen, Executive Producer - BBC Music Entertainment



"The Face Of It is a record full of guitar-driven pop tunes with a distinctly retro-British sound, it epitomises the talent of The Tommies, a band most definitely worth keeping an eye on."Alex Lai ContactMusic Magazine
