Biography
There is more than one band called Landmarks.
1) Landmarks are an Alt Rock/Pop Punk band from Manchester, UK.
Founded in November 2011 in Manchester, Landmarks have shared the stage with bands such as Neck Deep, Man Overboard, Moose Blood, Me V Hero, Such Gold, Carridale, Decade, Hot Damn and Light You Up, to mention a few.
"Most new born pop punk bands enter a vulnerable trap creating monotonous songs with simple chords and tiresome drum beats. Landmarks have cleverly avoided this trap and stepped out with a fresh, energetic sound. With their power beats, heavier breakdowns and mix of clear and shouted vocals, Landmarks have already achieved a lot in a short space of time." Hannah Gillicker www.alreadyheard.com
"Their English take on America’s harsher, The Story So Far, style pop-punk was good to see, hopefully we can have more of our own scene rather than borrowing off our US counterparts and exporting giants like You Me At Six. The vocal interplay between the guitarist/vocalist, Brad Shea, and Bassist/vocalist Adam make the chorus’ sound huge in the tiny venue. I can imagine a sea of crowd surfing fans in chino shorts dying to sing the words into the microphone if the band keep going with their already loyal local support."
The Debut Ep "Running on Empty" was self released on October 2013 and pushed Landmarks onto tour Europe and the Uk with Boston Manor & Melrose extensively. With some time off a new Ep "Fighting Gravity" was written and with a new line up consisting of Brad Shea on Lead vocals the record was released via Ship records on May 15th with Lead single "40mg" released just before hand on April 24th. 2015 has already been heavy with touring in Europe and looks set to be the year Landmarks go forward and push onwards and upwards with a second single/video 'Worse for Wear' penned in for early July and a UK tour to follow Aug 15
"Running on Empty" and "Fighting Gravity" are Available on - itunes, landmarksband.bigcartel.com & www.shiprecordsuk.com
2) 3 guys making loud expressive music. Based in Lincoln, UK. Their current sound is big, epic, doomy, prog rock/metal. Their live show is explosive and intense, with singer/guitarist Matt Young usually found slinging himself around the stage with no regard to his own safety.
