About

VAN DER NEER play soul soaked rock music. This York based quartet, formed in 2015, comprises the talents of Simon Snaize (Vocal and Guitar), Stuart Fletcher [The Seahorses, Happy Mondays, St. Etienne] (Bass), Dave Hartley [Hijak Oscar] (Drums) and Carl Hetherington [Hijak Oscar], (Keys/Guitar). The songs effortlessly blend retro and contemporary rock influences. There are riffs that would make Jimmy Page blush, rhythms that groove like a night at Stax and Beatlesque melodies that turn round your brain for days. Imagine Dave Grohl on drums, James Jamieson on bass, Jimmy Page on guitar, Jon Lord on keys, and Paul Rodgers on vocal, playing songs written by Queens Of The Stone Age for an audience that loves The Raconteurs and Black Keys.
