Dirty Rock band from Yorkshire. Riffs and Muck

Alt. folk singer/songwriter, guitarist and composer from South Yorkshire, UK.

Hello, 

To let you know;-  primarily, I am a songwriter - not a singer :-)  

Have been writing since 2003. 

My songs are basic in terms of production - generally me and my guitar (occasionally a friend or two on some choruses) - no particular style or genre - my inspiration - any/everything around me.

Please drop by from time to time - will only upload new songs as they come to me - not writing for the sake of it. 

Please feel free to comment - If you like any of my work please 'like it' on Facebook and or Reverbnation.

Thanks for taking the time.
 
Best Wishes! 

Anthony (Sully)

DEMOGRAPHIC is an Alternative/Indie band formed in 2010 in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. We are a four-piece band consisting of lead singer/rhythm guitarist Billy Marsden, bassist/backing vocals Danny Pollard, lead guitarist/backing vocals Danny Hibbert, and drummer Andy Bassinder. 
 We have been called one of the best bands in Barnsley, playing original music in venues all across Yorkshire and surrounding areas.
 Our sound is made up by such influences from Black Keys, Wombats, The Cribs and Arctic Monkeys which has helped us create our catchy lyrics and riffs’ using a mix of clean and distorted guitars and bass with amazing drum fills that complement the music just right.
 In the past 3 years of forming, we have played some amazing shows such as local festivals; BOMfest and Coalfields. Also at the release of our first EP, we sold out on the first night which was an amazing achievement for us. Since then we have released a Debut Album called '8493' which is now available to buy from us for £6, or visit iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, or Google Music.

 DEMOGRAPHIC - THE RIVERSIDE SELBY
 After roaming the music scene for many years looking for a band with a unique sound and onstage flare but returning no results it is safe to say that Barnsley boys Demographic are the full package band, a tight live sound, uniquely written songs and on stage presence second to non with interactions with the audience throughout the set, the band are fairly fresh on the scene and are already making new fans at any given chance, the crowd were very well receiving and seemingly wanted more from the band, if this show is anything to judge from it is safe to say Demographic will be a force to be reckoned with in the UK music scene, an enthusiastic, original and highly entertaining bunch of lads.
