We had a few ideas like, and spent the best part of a week actually sitting down and thinking about it, but it just came to the drummer, and from that day, we have been known as Slider!

We have and will continue to play allover Newcastle, including top notch venues like the Head of Steam, The Cluny, The Bridge Hotel and many others. There are also plans to perform in Liverpool and London later in the year.

It gives listeners access to all kinds of music that they might not have been able to get a hold of without the internet, for an unsigned underground band, its excellent coverage.

Deffo man! A major label will be able to sell many of our records and we can manipulate their multinational status to get our messages across to a wider audience.

The band started off as a 3-piece in the bass player's kitchen, consisting of Shaun Dillon (vocals), Mark Osborne (bass) and Martin Cardwell (drums). They added rhythm guitarist Darren Burdis and a lead guitarist (Mark's cousin) to form a band that took lots of influence from Oasis and The Stereophonics. The lead guitar slot was then taken over by Martin Williamson to complete the 5-piece line up. We now play an original rock n' roll set and we love it!

As mentioned, there were strong Oasis influences in the early days, now the music has evolved to include Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Stone Roses, Pink Floyd, the Foo Fighters and Aerosmith.
