The Words influences

The Words
"...leaving you with a sense of contentment you had previously never thought possible!"
The Words are causing a stir on the Manchester scene with a combination of clever lyrics, incredible music and a desire to perform and improve. Creating music which gets you humming along after your first listen and leaving you with a sense of contentment you had previously never thought possible.

Drawing on influences ranging from Oasis and the Kings of Leon to The Beatles and Elvis & combining the spirit of Indie with the passion a Rock band should have and mixing in the melodic sounds of Motown, The Words have managed to create a style of music which excites and entertains but also hits hard in all the right places.

Since forming in 2006 the band have performed regularly in the North West of England and have built up a reputation for an act who will take on all gigs performing at famous venues including the Manchester Academy & The Cavern Club in Liverpool as well as playing showcases to labels including EMI & Sony BMG at the Hope & Anchor in London and playing the opening night of the Incoming Festival 2009.

With a desire to entertain, a need to satisfy every listener and an attitude which means they always strive to improve on what they have previously done the destiny of The Words is in their own hands.


Our new EP 'All the Roads' is now available to buy on ITunes at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=304208002&s=143444. It features the tracks Under the Sun, My Silver Line, Time and Holding up the Walls.

NARC review of Under the Sun http://www.narcmedia.com/dissection-singles/the-words-under-the-sun/ After hearing the first few lines of this track, I’ll admit I became a little biased; my Cheshire ears detected the hint of a North West accent, and I was smitten. There’s other reasons to like this though; it’s  read the full post here >>

best industry quotes

  1. With easy melodies and openly accessible 'words', The Words dish out their catchy 'chunes' with well proportioned but pretty sassy aggression that make their songs undeniably singalongable
  2. With a fantastic charismatic front-man who bore some (loose) similarities to Sean Rider and threw himself into the songs with guts and gusto, the band clearly have a connection and the tunes to compete with any of their contemporaries
  3. they have a sense of originality about them that is reminiscent of the Kings of Leon and Franz Ferdinand
