Although they only formed in 2006, The Loyalties have a rich musical history seated in some of the best underground punk and rock'n'roll bands of the last 10 years. Guitarists Tom Spencer and Rich Jones first met 6 years ago while touring in the US as Sub Pop labelmates (in The Yo-Yo's and The Black Halos respectively). It wasn't until 2005 though that they joined forces in a new version of The Yo-Yo's along with Cherrykicks drummer Craig Herdman. In the meantime, CC Voltage had been playing as a member of The Spitfires, releasing albums on labels like Junk Records and Estrus and writing his own songs (as well as playing a few gigs and festivals as a Black Halo), Tom had been playing with The Lurkers and his own band Fastlane Roogalator, and Rich had been touring with Amen and former Atari Teenage Riot frontman Alec Empire. Band whores, all of them! After the Yo-Yo's exploded mid-tour at the end of 2005, Rich, Tom and Craig decided to focus their energies on forming something new. Writing began and in the meantime Tom and Rich filled their time as guitarists with The Dogs D'Amour. In June 2006 the band came together to record their first 4 song demo at London's Enterprise Studios. Upon it's release the initial pressing sold out within days and the band hit Germany and Italy for their first shows. Late 2006 the band released the One Take Wonders mini-album which has been the Number One selling title at the Fading Ways Music Store ever since. Now with newest member Lee Jones formerly of Deadline joining the ranks, the band are heading into the studio to record their debut album. Look for this and a split single with Radio Dead Ones to come out coinciding with a UK tour in Late 2007! For more information contact: theloyalties@gmail.com ONE TAKE WONDERS - THE NEW MINI-ALBUM.
