Times are Right Times are Right
Gets all our influences and all the styles of music we play and chucks 'em in one big blender. Listen for yourself...
So close, yet so far So close, yet so far
In the same sort of vein as our ballad Still Young, yet with more of a kick.
Sound of the Century Sound of the Century
Our most infectious (and notorious) song, who cares if it's a bit unoriginal! This isn't recorded well but we thought you'd wanna hear it anyway...
The Era are...
Chris 'Colz' Collins: Vocals
Martyn Hannant: Guitar/Vocals
Dav Hannant: Bass
Sean Coates: Drums
Colz and Martyn have known each other throughout school. Dav is Martyn's brother. Sean was introduced via Dav's bass teacher. And that's where the life story stops.
The Era are simply a classic British rock n roll band intent on fighting against the American influenced punk/emo/something followed by the word 'core' bands dominating Norwich.
We have three songs on here, two fully mastered, and we have two more to come, our ballad Still Young and our out-and-out RnR track Livin' Fast.Band/artist history
Colz and Rob Annable formed an imaginary group whilst very, very drunk.
This rapidly became reality when Rob, Chris and Mart had their first jam, on a Thursday morning, at Rob's house.
We continued at Martyn's house covering Oasis tunes and writing our own stuff, but goin nowhere fast.
Rob and band later had to part company and drummer Sean joined, which marked the start of the path The Era still follow today.Have you performed in front of an audience?Playing live is the best part of being in a band, we have played a series of gigs in Norfolk and Suffolk, including The Ferryboat Inn, Reflections in Lowestoft, and arguably our finest moment to date at Norwich Arts Centre.
