The Backbeats Back To The Beat (CD)

(Nervous Records) 16 tracks

The Backbeats in their present form have been around since March 1995, since when they have become a fixture on the rock'n'roll scene, playing major festivals and halls throughout the UK. Their blend of country, rock'n'roll and blues has also proved to be a popular live attraction in pubs, clubs and other gigs.
The Backbeats' influences include not only the Sun rockabilly of Warren Smith and Elvis Presley, but also the blues of Sonny Terry and Slim Harpo, and the modern country sounds of Dwight Yoakham and Allan Jackson. The Backbeats are not simply a cover band reproducing the sounds of yesteryear; they draw on their influences but are not bound by them, and above all are committed to making their own music as commercially successful as possible. Because of their already considerable experience, they know that their dynamic live shows appeal not only to rock 'n' roll fans, but to a much broader audience that appreciates the added dimension they bring to the music.
This isn't nostalgia, this isn't a museum piece, this is the excitement and energy of the best music in the world, played for today: get up out of your seat and let the beat take you away. This is the beat of The Beackbeats
