Michael, 38, Emily, 28 and Rom, a young drummer of 19 summers just prove that "you can still form a band without wearing ties and fringes". Indeed, after having listened to their debut EP "pROCKaganda!" recorded 4 months after the birth of the band, it seems like all they care about is playing music with all the raw power and soul required to make a song sound urgent and smart. A bit of The Clash or The Jam, coupled with a modern edge, their music fits no current trends. The Years are quite down-to-earth, selfconscious about what they call "a sort of happy-go-lucky friendship". Emily adds: "Before we started, I didn't know how to play the bass and Mick switched from bass to guitar he's always sung in bands but Rom is the only genuine musician".

Many gigs since then. They opened in 2007 for Chris Wilson -singer and guitarist of the Flaming Groovies, and experienced two packed out nights at the famous 12 Bar Club in central London which eventually led to the idea of releasing the White Teeth EP with the help of their mancunian friends at Babyboom records.

The Years have had some cool collaborations such as a remix of“Loops” by Pete Jones, former partner of John Lydon in PiL and now independent producer. They are also featured on volume 3 of The Beautiful Music Records acclaimed Tribute series to The Television Personalities with a cover of This Angry Silence.

A new 6 track EP is just out and available in limited Digipack edition from Babyboom rcds.

Many gigs are to come for sure so keep an eye out!
