About

“It’s loud. It’s dirty! It smashes you over the head!” – heavy classic rock at its best! Powderhead are a new face on a classic scene, belting out raw, old-school rock that will get your head banging, your body moving and leave you screaming for more! This Cambridge band began in February 2015 fuelled by guitarists Si Mortlock and Jose Solar and vocalist Helen Johnson's mutual interest in 80s and 90s rock and metal. But it wasn't until December 2015, when drummer Ollie Rose and bassist James Miller joined, that things really kicked off. With Ollie's energetic, thrash inspired beats and Miller's no nonsense, stoner rock minded bass lines, the band's unique style of heavy classic rock emerged. Following the release of their self titled debut EP in May 2016, the band continue to write new material for their anticipated debut album, due to be released in late 2017, and have a string of gigs lined up to showcase their head banging rock to audiences in the UK.
