Henry's Funeral Shoe was formed in 2008 in South Wales, inspired and influenced by many of the albums that singer/guitarist Aled Clifford had looted from his father's vinyl collection when he was growing up. The Who, CCR, Peter Green, Robert Johnson and the Beatles were favorites, and Aled quickly became a gifted guitar player, aided and taught by Ned Edwards, a long time collaborator of Van Morrison. Aled soon played with various bands, eventually doing some recording sessions for producer Ian Grimble, and even recording at the legendary Abbey Road studios. His younger brother Brennig started playing drums at nine. At fifteen he joined a local band, learning his trade by performing covers of The Clash and Thin Lizzy before moving on to writing original material. The dexterous brothers have finally joined forces to create some of the loudest soulful rock n'roll to come out of the UK in a long time. Their debut "Everything's For Sale" is a fun and raucous mix of heavy rock and psychedelic blues which reminds us that the UK can produce more than great pop music, but also some amazing rock n'roll. If you dig the BLACK KEYS, RADIO MOSCOW and BUFFALO KILLERS, you'll probably dig these guys!
