   About Come On Gang!
The three of us met at the Edinburgh College of Art, although we're from all over the place - bassist Trev from Dublin, guitarist Mikey from Galashiels, and drummer and singer Sarah from sunny Brighton. We'd all advertised for people who loved energetic riffs, lyrics with real substance, and rhythm that feet can't help but dance to. And had short, brown, messy hair. (no, that was just coincidence.) Hey presto, we met, we turned on the amps, picked up the sticks, and we were away.


That was a year ago, and we've just had our anniversary. We've been busy ever since, playing with bands like Glasvegas, The Pistolas, Angus and Julia Stone, the Chap.. We play hard and fast, tempered by lilting female vocals. We love what we do and we want you to come along for the ride.

Buy our debut single WHEELS on CD in select Scottish stores, or download from itunes and millions of other places online, like here:

"The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Roxy Music and Franz Ferdinand...to that list, add Come On Gang!" Edinburgh Evening News (26th October, 2007)

"Unsigned Hereos" Vic Galloway Show, BBC Radio Scotland (26th November, 2007)

"Who to listen out for in 2008? Edinburgh College of Art students Come On Gang! could take the next step up this year" Edinburgh Evening News (4th January, 2008)

""What hits you first is the juxtoposition of Sarah's voice with the noisy punk blueprint, and that's EXACTLY WHAT MAKES IT WORK AND PUTS THEM ABOVE THE OTHERS!" Daily Record (11th January, 2008)

"Come On Gang! scream difference and urge you to have a closer listen. The band can play their instruments not only with a great passion, but also with such intensity that guarantees them a chance at being one of Edinburgh's finest unheard sounds." Susan Ford Music Reviews (11th January, 2008)

"Spiky pop with overtones of the Strokes and T Rex." Clyde 1 Radio (12th January, 2008)

"Come On Gang! soon show that they have more to their repertoire than merely crashing drums and clashing guitars: A juxtaposition of soft poetic vocals and power punk riffs." The Skinny (January, 2008)

"When the drums and the angular guitar hooks of Coming Home ignites the audience, they hold their own. Singer/drummer Sarah Tanat Jones has a voice like an angel. The oft-used ‘ones to watch’ seems entirely apt here." The Skinny (8th February , 2008)

"Come on Gang! were worth waiting for. Their dynamic shouldn’t really work alongside the raw, noisy garage-punk fire of ‘Wheels’ and ‘Bang’, but a performance where such dissonant elements fell together nicely snared the attention without mercy. We say: like Beth Orton fronting Television." The List **** (13th March 2008)

"As they fire through a truly electric set, each and every song sounds like a hit, this tight and talented band have everything going for them, not to mention the vibe of closeness they have both on and off stage. Wheels would not sound out of place in the current charts and as Sarah sings “I'm dancing, I'm dancing from the chorus (of Spinning Room), it really feels like a great night is upon us.” The Fanzine, Dance Disaster Collective (May 2008)

"The future looks bright for Come On Gang!" The Skinny (June 2008)

"Perhaps Come On Gang! can bring Edinburgh College Of Art to the fore in the same way that Franz Ferdinand publicized Glasgow Art School? There are certainly many fans in Scotland that seem to think so. Mixing in the right circles and writing the right kind of songs, if new single 'Wheels' is anything to go by, when lead singer Sarah Tanat Jones breaks into full swing they take it up a notch or two." CMU 'Snap of The Day' Artist (17th June 2008)

“Pretty much everyone I know has seen them and rate them very highly. This, however, is the first time that I have caught Come On Gang! live. As a friend of mine said, you can hear the record in there, and their single release party is approaching, so that’ll definitely be one I stretch my pocket money to buy. “ Songbytoad.com (23rd June 2008)

"This trio knock out a tremendous line in shimmering, melodic guitar growl topped with the brittle vocal brilliance of Sarah Tanat Jones. Their single Wheels, an upbeat, twitchy anthem, sounds like a choir girl wandering into a bedroom full of boys and fuzzy, throbbing guitars. It's the combo of her folky, sweet vocals aginst a garage-rock squall that has been getting the press dribbling with excitement." The list (3rd July, 2008)

"'Wheels' by Come On Gang! boasts blustery riffs and bewitching vocals, which are a gentle reminder that there is still some creativity left in modern music." The List ****(3rd July, 2008)

"Top 20 Must see bands at T in the Park 2008" The Scotsman (11th July, 2008)

"Come On Gang!, who could hold their own on a reasonably large festival stage, continue to inspire gratitude that we're able to watch them in small venues. It's easy to remark they're one of the two or three best acts in Edinburgh - far harder to convince people they're one of the most compelling undiscovered sounds in the country." The Scotsman (19th July, 2008)

"The latest bright new hopes to come out of the Edinburgh Music scene, bridging the gap between post-punk and punk-pop. Come On Gang! are the kind of band that leads scenes rather than follow them." The Scotsman (2nd August, 2008)

"Their gigs, propelled by finely crafted and energetic pop, must not be missed." Product Magazine (Autumn 2008)
