Storm Warning
“One
of Britain’s most talented and
well respected Blues bands….. a
distinctive blend of contemporary
blues, rock that creates their
trademark slick and classy sound.”
Blues
Matters magazine
The band to date
have recorded two albums
and both have been consistent
sellers and both have reached the
Amazon Top 50 for Blues CDs.
Storm
Warning’s debut album, ‘Breaking
Out’, received excellent reviews
including
Blues In Britain (10
out of 10 rating), “In essence this CD is a collection of fine songs by fine musicians,
well worth adding to the collection
and a cracking first release.”
– Blues in Britain magazine
‘Something
Real’, the latest album, has eight
superbly crafted original songs and
one Lucky Peterson cover. It was
recorded at M.A.R.S Studios by
Martin Atkinson who has worked on
albums by Buddy Guy, Lucky Peterson,
Deborah Coleman and Michael
Hill for the JSP label.
A
track from the ‘Something Real’
album appeared on the front cover CD
of Classic Rock magazine. The album
also won ‘Best Album of 2008’ in
the Digital Blues Awards.
Both
CDs are available throughout the UK,
at all good record shops and
available online at music websites
including Amazon, HMV, Play.com
Blues CD Store, itunes etc.
The
Paul Jones BBC Radio 2 Blues
programme recorded and broadcast a
live Storm Warning session and more
recently the legendary Chris Farlowe
has recorded the Storm Warning song
from the ‘Breaking Out’ album,
‘The Woman? Or The Blues?’ This
appears on his latest CD ‘Hotel
Eingang’.
Storm
Warning’s live performances are
powerful, leading one blues
journalist to write in Blues
in Britain magazine;
“This
is a tight, classy outfit that
should be on every promoter’s wish
list.”
Storm
Warning appear
at Blues
clubs and festivals in the UK and
Europe and receive constant acclaim;
“They've
certainly hit the nail on the head
in designing this set of,
principally, original material and
this fresh approach, expertly
executed by a great team of
musicians, was more than appreciated
by the members, indeed the feedback
received, both at the event and
follow up e-mail, has been quite
phenomenal!”
– R. Dobney, Bottleneck
Blues Club
“For
all their rocking they’d actually
remembered it was about the Blues! A
cracking set…..This was a much
needed band for the Festival’s
Monday”
Blues
Matters review from the Great
British R&B Festival in Colne
Their
popularity is increasing further a
field with their first festival
appearance at the Rawa Blues
Festival, and the festival was
screened on national TV in Poland.
The band were on the main billing
with award winning Janvia Magness
and The Ayslum Street
Spankers from the USA. Other
European tours to date have included
France and Holland and the band are
planning many more European dates.
“England’s
five-piece Storm Warning bring a
contemporary feel to classic blues
and blues-rock….
Bob Moore
’s guitar work is tasteful.”

Short - Quotes from CD reviews
– Storm Warning ‘Something
Real’
“Soulful
gut-bucket groove that’s half hard
times, half
good-time-all-the-time…..they
delve deep into breezy jazz, fiery
rock or smoky R&B, but the blues
always call them back.”
-
Classic
Rock magazine.
“Clever,
complex and compelling…this is a
progressive album that sounds
relatively distinct from any
predecessors. An impressive assured
set.”
- Blues
in Britain magazine
“Blues
workout par excellence, this British
group’s second album oozes
class……..Love to see them play
live – this is joyous, uplifting
stuff”
- Sunday
Express
“This
group sounds pro, looks pro and
completely avoids sterility by
taking care with their
material….There is nothing on this
disc that the band cannot deliver
live on stage.”

"…
Their song writing ability is a strong point with many numbers, I suspect,
destined to become much loved standards. A while ago, on the strength of their
CD, I described Storm Warning as cogent and cookin’. Live, they are all that and
more." - Linda Fisher
