South East based Gentlemen of Distorted Sound are embarking on a full UK tour this winter which spans the length and breadth of the British Isles as support for British Rock ‘n’ Roll pioneers The Quireboys. Practicing their wares at events like the Bulldog Bash for two consecutive years and looking forward to the Hard Rock Hell Festival on the 2nd December which they appear on having won the festival’s Highway 2 Hell competition to find the best unsigned rock act in the UK! Formed five years ago, this mighty foursome deals in, bluesy, classic rock that will put a smile back on your face and a swagger in your step. The band learned their trade playing everything from pop and soul to metal as they tried to find the missing link between the groove laden sound of 70’s classic rock and intense explosion of 90’s grunge. With this added new impetus Gentlemen of Distorted Sound hit the road with renewed vigour in 2010 and 2011 spreading their touring wings far and wide throughout the breadth of the UK and earning coveted slots at the legendary Bulldog Bash Festival 2 years running. This brought them to the attention of the mighty Hard Rock Hell organisers who selected them for their Highway to Hell competition where 24 bands (from original 1060 submissions) were judged in a play-off competition in Glasgow’s Classic Grand venue at the end of October. As if to prove that their manifesto for rejuvenating Rock with a massive slab of grooving Roll was conceived with total conviction they proceeded to win the competition outright scoring maximum points along the way! Their prize for this not inconsiderable achievement will be to play at the Hard Rock Hell Festival on 2nd December, followed swiftly by a slot at the equally rocktastic Hammerfest in March 2012. Take time to check out these rock ‘n’ roll upstarts who play with a style and presentation born from a bygone era of rock history but who deliver it with a conviction and character that is all their own. In these times of financial ruin, social strife and an uncertain future for us all rock ‘n’ roll remains something that most of us can rely on so bands like Gentlemen Of Distorted Sound are to be applauded and treasured.
