Exciting New Band

The Remainders are a new band who play with a style that is quite old. Listening to their live set reveals the raw hard hitting punch of Nirvana with the classy style of Led Zeppelin. Some of their songs that are not played live are softer melodies - songs that are reminiscent of the Kinks, the Beatles and Neil Young. The Remainders believe that they are all that is left of a particular style of music that has had it’s time and is gone, hence the name.

Being a very new Australian band they have yet to receive wider publicity and have only performed at gigs around the Liverpool area in Sydney. They were entrants in the 2005 Youth Rock and also performed at the first Molong Music Festival, along side veteran band, the Angels and popular newcomers Thirsty Merc, although the music played by the Remainders was in stark contrast to other bands at the event.

Live sets by the Remainders will often contain a couple of cover songs that reflect their own unique style, as well as their own brand of highly charged original material. Covered songs are often by bands such as Nirvana, Beatles, Pixies, Kiss, Jimi Hendrix and the Vines. The band is Luke Stanford (vocals and rhythm guitar), Jack Ellwood (lead guitar), Ian Whipple (drummer) and Harrison Lillis (bass guitar).

i have seen The Remainders play live and was very impressed. They have a very unique style in which i havnt heard in a long time. When i hear their music it takes me back to the time when i used to be in a garage band. except their music is alot different. Their is a variety of genre in this band. i am looking forward to seeing them live again.

As the remainders official spokes person i tell you that mp3s for their work will be available very soon on their own web page (in working)
Their ep is complete and i will be sending it to triple j for hopeful air time. You can listen to this station online at www.triplej.net.au you can also check playlists.
I will also be in very soon time talking to a reprasentative of warner music Australia about some recording time and perhaps some advise.
