About this concert
On 2nd May 2013, Backbench Rebellion + The Sherpas will be supporting the magnificent 'The Darlingtons' at The Cavern, ExeterThis isn't just going to be a normal midweek gig, expect a packed event with some of the finest local Alternative/Indie music around! We strongly recommend that you come along!THE DARLINGTONS :Armed to the teeth with an artillery of life affirming tunes encapsulating the band’s reflection on all aspects of suburban culture from the good, the bad and the surreal. Accompanied by infectious hooks, their songs speak of hope, conviction and hard work.The Darlingtons lyrics read like a running commentary on life’s disappointments: but rather than air their lament on a social media site they put pen to paper and write compelling lyrics about their immediate environment, life and people from the heart and wrap them up with the energy and emotion of a widescreen setting.Kiwi’s trademark vocals propels their songs with a curious mix of innocence and fire. The band are by no means activists, but more idealists wearing rose tinted glasses. Packed with sentiment, passion and belief.http://www.facebook.com/thedarlingtons?fref=tsBACKBENCH REBELLION : Backbench Rebellion are a four piece Alternative/Indie band from the heart of Devon. They have developed their own distinctive sound after being influenced by a wide range of bands of different genres from Bombay Bicycle Club right up to the likes of Foo Fighters. Despite being limited by a combination of university and work over the past 12 months, Backbench Rebellion have continued to endeavour to create new music, share influenced and entertain audiences at every opportunity possible, and are currently in the process of writing for their next EP, expected in 2013.www.facebook.com/backbenchrebellionbandTHE SHERPAS :'Brash, noisy and young, quite enjoyed it!'

Backbench Rebellion Biography
Backbench Rebellion (BBR) is an exciting Indie/Alternative/Rock band from Exeter, UK. After releasing their first EP 'Back to the Wall' in 2011 Backbench Rebellion has continued to perform across the South West; most notably playing at an after-party for the Vaccines and pleasing a 1500 strong crowd in a BOTB final. With the band members leaving their teenage years behind them their songwriting has taken a turn in another direction, seeing the development of a new mature and unique sound through their careful compositional work. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Follow the links below to hear what the excitement is all about and to keep up to date with their activities. ** NEW SINGLE AVAILABLE NOW - 'G L A S S' ** www.soundcloud.com/backbench-rebellion http://backbenchrebellion.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/backbenchrebellionband www.twitter.com/BBR_music 'G L A S S' - NEW SINGLE AVAILABLE NOW https://soundcloud.com/backbench-rebellion/glass
