The Fest 9
Bedford Falls
Bedford Falls is not an emo band from Germany, an indie-rock band from the Pacific North West, a kiddie-metal band from Mitchigan or a pub-rock band from Edinburgh.
Bedford Falls is, however, some friends making music in their spare time.
They've been doing what they do since 2003. They wonder where the time went.
They play melancholy punk rock that has been compared to bands like; Husker Du, Buffalo Tom, The Moving Targets, The Lemonheads, REM, Teenage Fanclub, Superchunk and Leatherface amongst others.
They've toured the UK sporadically and released three split 7" singles. One on Newest Industry Records with Floridian band The Enablers, one with London band Sevens and Nines on Rat Patrol Records and one on Sheets of Tens Records with Failures' Union. They've also recorded an album, entitled "??Savings And Loan", that was released by Boss Tuneage Records on the 21st April 2008.
For most of the last seven years the line up of Bedford Falls has varied wildly, but has been based around the core line up of Tom Willecome (vocals/guitar), Jim Williams (drums), Peter Leakey (guitar/vocals) and James Reed. James left permanently in early 2010 to be replaced by Katie Gatt. We needed a woman's touch about the place.
Other musicians who've drifted in and out of Bedford Falls have included members of such bands as; Harbour, The Keep, The Doublecross, The Osterman Weekend, Throwing Knives and Wraith.
