introducing Middleman

Middleman Introducing.

Sitting comfortably? You won’t be when you hear Middleman. Loud, bouncy and ridiculously catchy, have I got your attention now?

Leeds is the adopted hometown of these delightful young chaps. Who originate from the Midlands. Upon their time in Leeds they self produced a debut album, which reflects a hectic and overwhelming time for the band. This critically acclaimed band have used all the bad experiences mixed them up, thrown a bit of energy and sweat into it, and created something that is honest and true.

From the start, Middleman have had huge acclaim from established people in the music industry. Such as Huw Stephens, Alex Baker from Kerrang Radio and Chris Denman of XFM Live. From this they have established a loyal fan base, which has seen them play at both Reading and Leeds Festival. It has also taken them on a tiny trip, across the pond to Texas to play SXSW.

From the experiences of bad management, juggling day jobs with being a rock and roller and keeping hold of their control of the music, they have pulled off a pretty amazing debut record. Spinning plates highlights all the problems that these guys, have had and turned them into beats so powerful they will make your head burst.

This band are funkin’ awesome, driving riffs, thumping bass. I will say this to all those reading this. Listen to your first Middleman song, let it scramble your brain, then do one or all of the following: see them live, buy the album and then buy it for everyone you love. Or even merely people you just like, lovers, friend’s parent’s vicars, Christ even pets. This band is worth it.
