The Libertines

Likely Lads: Melrose Yard Demos

Admitting to be fans of the Libertines, it's not difficult to see the bands' influence on the Likely Lads. This three piece crew first got into music after attending a Leeds festival. Inspired and motivated, the members: Ross McLeod - vocals/bass, Ashley Harding - lead guitar, Ben Porter - rhythm guitar and Jordan Maher - drums joined forces and started recording their songs. Tiptoeing between new wave, alternative and indie rock, Melrose Yard Demos is the band's foray into a compilation album. It has 15 tracks that are upbeat, indie rock affairs you can dance and sing along to if you need some perky music to keep you company.
