Said It Sober by The Merry Gang

Bio -

Named after the 1665 collection of wits famous for lewd debauchery, heavy drinking and philosophical discourse…..The Merry Gang may have a rough around the edges feel about them, but listen and look deeper into the lyrics to find an altogether more poetic, more meaningful account of everyday life and the everyday feelings of the modern day working class young man. 

Telling stories and describing situations, many tracks display an honest venerability and are clearly based on feelings and experiences past and present, with catchy riffs, jangly guitars and clever lyrical vocals, their style is unique and instantly recognisable. 

With echoes and influences from bands like The Libertines and The Jam, the boys are far from your average highly polished over produced indie band. 

Composed of brothers Gareth Hudson (Lead Vocals) and Warren Talbert (Bass) and their long-time friend Harry Hibbert (Rhythm Guitar and Vocals) finding Greg Jones (Lead Guitar) and Jay Foster (Drums) - a likeminded group of friends were set to create a fusion and synthesis of different styles and a unique post punk lyrical indie sound. 

The Merry Gang have a raw untamed sound both live and on the record and like not to rely on effects and studios to polish and complete their tracks. 

The Merry Gang with their growing following of ‘Merry Men’ and ‘Merry Maidens’, are bringing back the camaraderie and bravado not seen since the likes of The Specials and Madness with fully committed live performances and un-caged energy. So if you are sick of hearing the same song sung day after day, year after year, band after band, get involved and join The Merry Revolution!
