Artist Profile: The Wooden Soldiers

Members:

Tom Walley- Lead Guitar
Ryan McEwan- Bassist
Gareth Jones- Drums/Percussion

Location: Preston

Description: Only played a few gigs but living up to the hype that described them as, 'quite punky but intelligent, Compare themselves to The Buzzcocks and a livelier version of The Kinks. Songs are short, melodic and loud, with aggressive drum fills and searing guitar solos.

Background: Andy Lewis and Gareth Jones both hail from Preston and have been in bands together previously. Andy Lewis has been present on the 'Preston Scene' recently giving the odd solo performance around the area. The band have been together since February, rehearsing without a drummer for a while until Gareth joined in early 2004.

Current Status: Waiting to get back into the swing of things with the return of their two ellusive members in September. Have two Preston gigs arranged and are also looking to get a short demo recorded.
