Newcastle has a history for hard rock talent. From The Animals to The Tygers Of Pan Tang, AC/DC's Brian Johnson to Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler, the city famous for football and Brown Ale has always boasted a heaving underbelly of guitar-based grit.
Now you can add Fables Last Stand to that heady mix of ear blasting brilliance. Born out of a love for GN'R, Led Zep and the Crue, these Geordie kings of bar room sleaze bring back classic rock with a menacingly modern twist.
Fresh from a spell in Canada recording with legendary producer Mike Fraser (Aerosmith, GN'R, Biffy Clyro, Metallica, Led Zep) the boys are on a mission to reclaim Britain's rock heartland and blaze a trail across Europe. Experience supporting The Wildhearts, Steven Adler and The Quireboys has given Roachie and the band an appetite for worldwide destruction. Stand in their way and prepare to be ravaged by real rock delivered with a swagger.
With their New Breed EP now a firm favourite in clubs and on radio across the UK it's time for Fables Last Stand to start walking the walk. A walk which will surely lead all the way to rock superstardom.
The release of 2009's eagerly anticipated debut album will demand attention. Make the 'Last Stand this year's first listen.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT FABLES LAST STAND:
A band to watch and I am sure live they will be even better than on CD. **** Get Ready to Rock - Review by Jason Ritchie
"Scream along rock n roll goodness"-CLASSIC ROCK magazine”
“Impeccably dishevelled, cheekbone-flaunting young rock n roll gadabouts” - Is Hardcore Magazine
Fabulously rocking new band, destined for a stadium near you!!! – Subba Cultcha
Catch them at a small venue while you can. You won't be disappointed! - Hair Metal Ireland
Caught an absolute blinding rock act last Saturday in Whitley Bay by accident...I went to see another band that were on the same night...but this band are mint. Total stage presence and class tunes. Check them out on myspace and catch them live if you can. - Dr Ted- Digital Spy
Fables Last Stand - Bite The Hook (End Of The Trail) – Big rock, big riff rock – think Horse London, The Almighty, The Cult, 70’s style dirty power riff ‘n raunch and things like Montrose or Starz or Hellcats or Starfighters and all tattoos and sunglasses and... Sounds they’d kick up a storm live. – Organ Magazine – Underground Music London
The bands sleaze rock tracks were heavy enough to please the usual Katy's crowd and the guys left behind a great atmosphere. The band have only been together for 2 years and hopefully when they come back to Belfast they will have some new material cause I could have happily listened to them all day!! – Kickin Trix, Belfast gig review
“'Road Religion' is an absolutely corking piece of classic sleaze rock, straight out of the Salty Dog school of rock, which could explain how it's been remixed by the legendary Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses). They're also heading out to every public toilet in the country come September, so get yourself down the front” – Metal4life
Just listen to the power of their debut single and check out the b-side “Road Religion” as it is just as good! Not many bands can afford to throw away a killer song like that without a second thought. Catch them at a small venue while you can. You won’t be disappointed! – London Kalling
"Fables Last Stand are definitely going to be making a big noise on the rock scene real soon" - Komodo Rock
"Two words: 'Stadium' and 'Rock'! Think Guitar Heroes meets industrial grade earplugs. With hints of AC/DC and a wash of eighties eye-liner this great production combines strong musicianship with that air guitar class." - Amazing Tunes.com
