Mutiny for Hire
Formed from the still glowing embers of 2 great local bands Mutiny for Hire got together just for the love of performing live music. Joel (guitar) and Dave (bass) having been in a band together for years and finding themselves at a loose end decided to form a basic power trio and so recruited the newly available Holmes on drums. Our sound inspired from the bands we grew up listening to and combined with a pebble dash smattering of the newer stuff we listen to now is heavy indie rock with a pinch of melodrama to tweek the senses.
Mutiny for Hire 29th October 2009 The Speakeasy, York By Suzy Harrison (www.pushtofire.com)- live review
For a band playing their fifth gig, Mutiny for Hire’s set tonight was very impressive. The three piece played alternative rock music featuring strong and heavy guitar and bass riffs and powerful drums only enhanced further by their on stage energy and enthusiasm. According to their MySpace their influences include QOTSA, Nirvana and Muse and you can certainly hear this in the songs. They also seemed to have a secret liking for modern pop artist La Roux, treating us to an interesting cover of ‘In For the Kill’.Mutiny for Hire played a tight set and were interesting to listen to and watch. Definitely going in the right direction and looking forward to hearing more from them in the near future.
