Very young, very energetic and very talented, this four piece from South London bring back the good old days of 60s rock in to today’s music world, a sentiment, that many would agree is much over due.
Hot on the heels of the work from bands such as The Velvet Underground, B.MK. aim to rekindle the music that influenced so many bands and people’s life styles in a time that determined so much.
A powerful sound, driven by a foot stomping beats from Dami Onashile on drums, who continues to impress performance after performance. Mike Sutton on rhythm guitar keeps in his own world on stage, fully focused on kicking out dirty hypnotic sounds that act as the backbone of B.M.K. On Bass is Josh Bailey who again stands against many stereotypes that have been made of Bass players in the past. As apposed to the boring, nonchalant bass player, the audience see themselves being entertained by the excitement and electricity that Josh brings to the stage. Stan heads this impressive line up on lead vocals and guitar, his pres
ence seems to capture the audience with unique vocals and thought provoking guitar style. All of this is very elegantly demonstrated in the bands latest track “The Fall” which can be found on their myspace page, along with the video which can be found on youtube.
The band exist on a vibe that seems to ooze out to the audience who are left wanting more of the creative and radiant sound that is produced by the young four piece. What is most impressive about this band is how all four members seem to compliment each other and no one member seems outshine another. This is one bands hype that should definitely be believed; look out for the long awaited demo tape and album being released by the band in the up coming months which is self titled “Black Market Karma”.
