Details:
The âMeg Williams Bandâ, formed in 2003, write and play melodic female-fronted rock â if you imagine the melodic creativity and scale of Tori Amos, Sheryl Crow and The Cranberries, you will have some idea of the bandâs sound. Captivating vocals and powerful bass-lines work together with intricate piano lines and infectiously catchy guitar hooks to create a unique sound that has been sculpted to perfection by producer Dan Foster. Built around the vocal prowess and song-writing gifts of singer-songwriter Meg, this four-piece now consists of Meg (lead vocals/keyboards), Tony Walters (bass), David Suddaby (guitarist) and Sean Clough (drums). Hull-based balladeer Meg and her band present their debut album: âMission, Obsession, Dareâ.

âAt last â a lady brave enough to front a band and writing some really interesting rock ballads too.â (Anita Blakestone, The Gig Shop, Hull)

âSinger and lyricist Meg and her musician friends have fashioned some truly entrancing numbers, with Stole A Kiss which oozes moody atmospherics in a Mostly Autumn kind of way, as Meg's haunting vocals compliment the accompanying piano melody.

Where Are You Now? is another piano-based affair, before a guitar melody and steady beat magically kick in, all the while Meg's melancholic laments prove that she is both emotionally astute when it comes to writing her lyrics, and genuinely passionate when it comes to delivering them.â (Steve Rudd, www.thisisull.com)
