THE THEME - MOD/POWER POP

The Theme are:
Gary Davis -lead vocals, Paul Bassom - lead guitarist, Martin Gamby - Drums, Anthony Morgan - bass and Reece Wiggett - lead/rhythm guitar.

 I heard THE THEME recently on the Glory Boy Radio show playing the track "The first time I saw you" and I was immediately taken back to 1979 where I was sitting in front of a remoteless, fat television set, microphone in one hand and the other hand poised above the pause button of my mobile cassette recorder in pretty much the way I did when waiting for The Jam to appear on Top of the Pops back then.  The Theme's sound is full of energy, it is exciting, melodic and fun, and whilst it takes you back to another time of great music, it also sits comfortably besides the likes of Oasis The Real People and Ocean Colour Scene.


 

                                   The Theme is bringing the britpop/mod scene back to life!

The Theme describe themselves as a South London fusion of Brit-Pop and post-Punk Modrock! This is not sixties flower-power, it's hard-hitting rock music in the best traditions of Mod-Revival Power Pop.  "We're not trying to re-invent the wheel, we just wanna play some rock and roll."

 

The band have just released an excellent six track EP/mini Album, all six tracks have a real British sound about them, something that is extremely refreshing in amongst all these pseudo American RnB singers that seem to be thrust upon us from every direction at the moment, the EP is available to download from itunes HERE.

            "We love the music, we love the clothes, but this is our music and this is our sound…"

  3. Step aside all you pretend bands, the Real Deal just arrived in town, make way for the Ace Faces!! The Theme's time is now! You gotta hand it to 'em, that EP just blew me away. Ain't heard anything as good as that since All Mod Cons! Get down to the 100 club, seriously, you'll kick yourself for missing it when they're playing massive venues. These boys are set to be the Mod elite!
