Hey Bulldog - Official Site


	Steve Lamacq Band of the week!		Like a garage rock band with Perry Farrell as the singer. Great stuff, I really like it! John Kennedy, XFM Exposure		It needs to be said that, in the melee of indie writing, the style of songwriting perculiar to the quality rock era in the sixities has been all but lost, and it's not until guys like Hey Bulldog resurrect it that we realise what we've been missing. Manchester is Music		New York City Blues is the most vital release we've heard since Oasis's "Definitely Maybe" or The Stokes "Is This It?". Designer Magazine


	Biography Rob Manton (Guitar/Vocals) Matt Parry (Bass/Vocals)

	Like many great bands before them, Hey Bulldog began as a germ of an idea of main man Rob Manton. The multi-talented Manchester-based musician, who named his venture after the last song that the Beatles recorded in a room together, recorded the debut EP, New York City Blues, by himself with the help of a drum machine. Before turning the project into a fully fledged band, Manton subtly started to create a buzz with the help of music websites and a variety of fanzines, leading Manchester's Designer 'zine to say that, "At the time of going to press Hey Bulldog isn't a fully fledged band, haven't played a gig and we're already naming him one of the Best New Artists to look out for". As word spread, Steve Lamacq named Hey Bulldog his Unsigned Band of the Week on his BBC Radio 6 music show and the band became favourites of XFM djs Clint Boon and John Kennedy. Those Beatles influences along with the likes of The Kinks and The Black Keys are evident all over Hey Bulldog's music, from the catchiest of melodies to the guitar hero-esque riffs that Hendrix and The White Stripes would be proud of. Hey Bulldog is that most rare of beasts. The music is as personal as it's possible to get, and yet the songs are so good that they're accessible to anyone and everyone. Their fans herald them as the future of modern rock'n'roll, so catch them live now while you can still get to the front without getting crushed. Brett Callwood
