Band Bio:

Unhinged? Well, hotly tipped Manchester indie-rock band Thai Bride are described as 'moody and broody', 'off kilter' and 'refreshingly weird'. With topics ranging from the desperation of domestic violence to the minutia of imprisoned hedgehogs, it's not hard to see why. Thai Bride's brutal live sound track provides a powerful backbone to the cathartic delivery of maverick front man Ricky's everyday tales of Northern life. After playing their debut single 'Non Contact Sports', BBC GMR radio's Terry Christian mused, 'it's nice to finally hear lyrics I can relate to'. Tasty Fanzine said, "Excellent nonsense of the highest level." Unpeeled Webzine 2005... "Moody, broody, modern and pretty damn good. Glam sneering over an electro-tech garage rock thingy, Pulp with muscles? First-stage Roxy Music taking Suede out for the night? Doesn’t really matter as they are more their own monster than a stitched up bag of bolts. Listen, learn and love." High Voltage ..."Thai Bride marries together intriguing subject matters and witty refrains." Graham, Manchester's Blowout Scene ..."Good innit"
