WE LIKE TUBELORD


Never mind being the lord of the tube, Tubelord are the lords of crazy off-kilter guitar pop. Blending styles like a yummy cake of post hardcore, progressive rock and pop, Tubelord have high appeal with both rockers and poppers and everyone who just loves music with a complete disregard for conventional song structures or time signatures. You can totally pull shapes to Tubelord but they will make you move in totally new ways. The drums go nuts with various beats in the space of a minute, the guitars have a split personality between lovely noodlings and crippling breakdowns and the bass is played faster than most bass is ever played! Then to top it all off, the vocals add the key pop element, the lyrics are surreal yet heartfelt and every chorus makes you want to sing it right back at the band. It’s impossible not to fall in love with them, they are lovely chaps making crazy music.

Their debut album “Our First American Friends” is out now on Hassle Records, a great label for fresh guitar music. They have played shows with Tall Ships, Blak Fish, Colour and many more. They have released an acoustic version of their debut album and a new EP of fresh songs.

Are they romantic mix tape material?
