BACK DOOR SLAM are teenagers Davy Knowles (guitars,
vocal, mandolin, lap steel), Ross Doyle (drums) and
Adam Jones (bass), all hailing from the small-but-perfectly-formed
Isle of Man*... (*to find the tiny isle, go to Liverpool
and look out to sea - you might even see Douglas bay
on a clear day!)
Brought up on a potentially overindulgent appetite
of Everything Blues, they're now using their precocious
talents to create their own mindblowing brand of contemporary/traditional
blues-rock. The result is a sound reminiscent of the
greats (BB King, Howlin Wolf, Jimi Hendrix, SRV) but
with a big fat nod to the modern music and songwriters
they all share a love of (Clapton, Knopfler, Mayall,
Mayer).
With this exciting mix fronted by the extra-ordinary
vocal and guitaring talent that is Davy K, and armed
with a scutch of hit songs under their youthful belts,
you won't know whether to holler for joy or scream
in envy at the perfect musical package that is Back
Door Slam.
