The Takeover UK
Jangling guitars, soaring choruses, backbeat galore, 3 part harmony, slide guitars, horns, tambourines and killer pre choruses. Say hello to The Takeover UK
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed in mid-2004, The Takeover UK came together to play the rock n roll they grew up loving. After spending their formative years banging out punk and hardcore, songwriters Mark Solomich and Nick Snyder hooked up with old pals Adam Shash and Josh Sickels to play the most fulfilling type of music. So far, it's been splendid. Wilkommen!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Mainly Pittsburgh, but this winter/spring, everywhere on this godforsaken continent
