Scott, one of our Ben Sherman Brand Ambassadors, has been out scouring the new music scene again and has found another emerging British band that our Ben Sherman fans should take note of. See what he has to say about them below. Introducing, The Universal....
Liverpool, that world famous hub of musical creativity spawning such greats as The Beatles, The Coral, The La's and of course the best of them all, A Flock of Seagulls. And now as we approach the end of the first decade of this new century, the city has come up trumps yet again. The Universal are making waves and they are reaching further afield than just the Mersey estuary.
Old fashioned "Mod-Rock" is where the quintet are based but this isn't a tribute act to the mod revival bands of the 80's, a doff of the cap, yes, but see them live and you will clearly see this is very much a band for the here and now. Debut Single "Day In Day Out" is a bass heavy thumping song that tells you all you need know about this band in an electric two and a half minutes. Front man Terry Shaughnessy's early influences of The Jam and The Small Faces are evident in the vocal and guitar style, but a hit on their myspace page will give you the chance to listen to tracks Stand Up, Revolution and Shine On which give up but just a taste of what these lads can really do. A grown up The Enemy with a bit of the polish worn off is my evaluation and I’m sticking to it. Download the album now and decide for yourself.
With dates all around the country from now until June, should you get the chance to see this band live, do it, you will not be disappointed as this is when they really come alive. The Universal may not revolutionise the British music scene but trust me, they are doing their bit.

Friendship is like earthenware: once broken, it can be mended; love is like a mirror: once broken, that ends it.

No one without contempt, to endure and struggle to conquer fate.
