thesearchparty

The bands ‘sound’ is best described as big and rocky with the right amount of catchy pop mixed in, but it should be noted that you haven’t truly heard this band till you’ve heard them live, which is when the true impact of the songs come to light.

In the few months the 4 piece have been together, they’ve already entered the studio to record their debut EP ‘the sky and colours’, received glowing reviews from venues they’ve played such as ‘the fleece’ and ‘the cooler’ in Bristol and have played 'the fiddlers elbow' on the camden stretch in London and were asked back to perform at 'Camden Rock', all that and their debut EP is being released on itunes in the next coming weeks.

The band is comprised of Tim Stevens on Vocals and Lead Guitar, Nick Ball on Bass and Synth, Ryan ‘The Anvil’ Manvill on Rhythm Guitar and Keyboard/FX and finally Sam Boughen on Drums.

Their past successes have helped them define their stage craft, and writing ability which gave them the confidence to have their debut performance be held in a city with the next batch of gigs being performed from Torquay to London receiving such reviews as:

thesearchparty certainly understand the often ignored business of aesthetics, as these plaid shirted well behaved yet serious lads act meshes perfectly with their earnest Bloc Party/Editors sound.
Fortunately those bands' tendency to indulge in important baritone and/or songs about existentialism has been purged and the results are unpretentious and surprisingly pop. - Surface Unsigned 2009

Fast paced, and megawatt rated, they had the audience dancing to their rocking and wanting more. Nick, their bassist could be plugged into the National Grid on his own. All in white T-shirts and throwing balloons into the crowd, thesearchparty are a tight rollicking band. Their track 'The Terminal' was the best of the set. I thought these guys were excellent. - Farmfest, Somerset BOTB review


Four-piece Somerset based indie band thesearchparty travelled the length of England for this charity gig in York to support ‘Honour Our Troops’. The guys write their own songs, are an amazingly level headed, extremely approachable and likeable bunch of talented musicians. They show intense energy on stage, and their opening song ‘The Terminal’ captivated the audience. The rhythm section was as solid as I’ve ever seen, with the immensely talented Sam Boughen on drums displaying a master class the likes of which the late Keith Moon would have been proud.
thesearchparty showed they know how to perform on stage and proved just why they are a band that are receiving rave reviews wherever they play and that they must surely be signed up to a label soon. The atmospheric and inspirational ‘The Air Between Us’ would make an awesome debut single, as well as already becoming a fantastic live track. This band produces powerful melodic anthems that glitter with presence and huge majestic swathes of sound, ranging from irresistible primeval beats through to sheer volumes of music. Taut razor-edged playing, strong vocals and powerful high-tempo songs, this is indie music at its best.

Watch this space – thesearchparty are well worth searching for and will soon be a major band to be reckoned with.
