TwentyOneTwelve Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Has anyone here heard of/is a fan of, a band called The Union? They're a cracking band formed from the ashes of Thunder and Winterville by guitarist Luke Morley and singer/guitarist Peter Shoulder. Whole range of musical elements in there, but they have a great blues/rock feel about them, especially live. Website here should you be interested You can get quite a few of their songs on free downloads. Their very first offering was Brilliant, brilliant band.

TwentyOneTwelve Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yep best new band 2010. They performed at the awards night too which you can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah I have the album, I was listening to it the other night, it's pretty good. It sounds a lot like early (1979) Whitesnake to me, the singer is very good too. I read about it in classic rock magazine in December, the one with Geddy on the cover. So I thought I'd give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentyOneTwelve Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Well that may get confusing then. They're supporting Whitesnake later in the year! And yes Pete's voice is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He better hope they are, Dave needs help from Reb Beach's backing vocals these days to give his live voice depth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
