Some Details...
A querky mix of what you would expect, and what you wouldn't, are Adrian Bowers' trade marks. Ranging from staunch 'rock'n'blues' stomp to acoustic simplicity, with a pinch of jazz to lighten the seriousness of the situation, Adrians debut release 'Sundays Child' appeals to a broad audience without compromising his direct and no-frills attitude towards music. This is something worth listening to. It shows that Adrian has broad tastes without compromising his musical integrity.
Released in July 2010, Sundays Child is the debut release of the Adrian Bower Band, and sees a return to original material for Adrian in 25 years, after appearing for other artists as well as being in demand on his local covers/tribute circuit. First appearing in the mid 80's heavy metal band, Scrawm, who had seminal underground success with their demo Demented Genius, he never stopped writing although his performances were primarily as a guitar-for-hire for other bands. Now in the 21st century, we see him with a more matured approach, veering more towards blues rock, but still keeping that edge that those who know his work will recognise.
Along side him, he has got together a band whose collective experience in the music scene many bands would give their high teeth for. Simon Clark on drums, who's early days saw him in punk bands where he learned his craft to keep a solid beat for the rest to build a platform on. He's also has been much sought after in the local music scene.
Completing the line-up is Notts bassist Dave Clarkson, who also has a wealth of experience behind him. He's worked with Adrian in the past in the Iron Maiden tribute Powerslave UK, and his playing style complements the main body of the songs, while at the same time providing a strong foundation to the more intricate pieces.
