Hard rocking ' hard rockers playing hard rock n ' roll Meansteed are a no bull-shit, high octane, uncompromising and raw rock ' n roll band hailing from North London. With a no-prisoners attitude to their live show, if you ' re lucky enough to leave alive you will be deafened, sweaty, suffering from whiplash and hungry for more! Main influences are: AC / DC, Rose Tattoo, Thin Lizzy, Motor head, Free, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, The Poor, Metallica, Airbourne, Judas Priest, Guns N ' Roses, Jett black and Ten Ton Tabby Meansteed started when front man Matty crashed drummer Adam ' s birthday party and noticed he had a drum kit and immediately went up to him and said we ' re starting a band!!! Adam asked what he played and Matty said nothing yet but i ' m gonna be a guitarist! Later on Matty noticed Ali walking down his road with a guitar case he asked her if she could teach him guitar, she agreed and several months later we were all jamming in mattys garage. All we needed then was a bassist. We have managed to go through a couple of bassists so far some lost to rock n roll excess, some to immigration laws but found are current one in our local boozer The Flag! Alex was working behind the bar and his previous band had just broken up, so we jumped at the opportunity and got him in!
