Pebble Ridge

Originating from as far afield as Brunei, Malaysia and deepest, darkest North Devon, and having spent two years writing and recording a gigantic wealth of material, PebbleRidge have finally found themselves based in Manchester and ready to set the city’s top gig venues on fire. Bringing with them a massive range of tunes from the blissed-out surf pop of To The Beach, to the snarling riff laden rocker This Mess, and limitless influences inbetween, they are a definite must see for all alt. rock fans of every musical persuasion.


To those in the know the name PebbleRidge may conjure up images of surfing and summertime as the actual ridge of pebbles they take their name from can be found by a little known seaside resort on the North Devon coast, but onstage they come across as Skunk Anansie, Evanescence and Alanis Morrissette’s eternally dissatisfied younger siblings, lead singer Kirsty Day’s sugar sweet yet staggeringly powerful vocals scattering effortlessly over the group’s grunge metal guitar swarm.

Not suprisingly they are through to round 3 of the Surface Unsigned battle of the bands contest so make sure you catch them (and vote for them!!) at Club Academy on the 24th July.

A little piece I've written for a website on my sister's band. First thing I've written for an actual specific purpose in a long time.
