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 !
