Earl Of Marr
Your set at the evolution gig last saturday was amazing. The engery and effort put into your stage show was on warp factor 10 that nite, really showing off what pressure has to offer. Would definately be head banging along to this a the v fest if you get through. Wanting Away The Week is an anthem of the youth and leaves me wanting all day for more!!

This band will leave you totally blitzed! Go see 'em live - so much energy feeds off this band. They were featured in Rhythm Magazine last month and should be gracing festival stages across the country this summer - let's make it happen!

Plus One Magazine, "Bags of stage presence, energy and enthusiasm, which went along so well with their bouncy catchy songs. They appear to have that certain something that makes a crowd warm to a band."

Epic Frenzy Sandman Magazine "A four-piece that create a melange of funky bass lines and pounding drums with strains of sax perfectly audible over everything else. They play their stuff well and end in an epic frenzy."

Pressure - Start Again E.P Demos Reviewed - www.myspace.com/demosreviewed Here we have another example of how credible bands the Derby music scene is. This energetic, rocky 4 piece have a lot of promise, which is well translated in 'Start Again', the first track and name of their EP. Well crafted, with impressive use of backing instruments, it's a fine start. The rock vibe is then kicked up a notch with the impressive 'Abducted Today', which sounds slightly more distorted and heavy. Both tracks here are featured on their MySpace page, with the EP including 'Stop and Stare' and the storming 'Wanting Away The Week'. Hopefully this isn't the last we'll hear of this band, and the Pressure they clearly put themselves under to come up with great songs is paying off.

BIRMINGHAM POST March 18th Submitted by Richard Kikonyogo Friday March 14th was the first band showcase for Freakin Legend, and it was, considering the awful weather that seems to have dampened moods across the city, a great success. With roughly 60 people in the upstairs events room at the Island Bar, what began as idle chatter on myspace, became a worthy reality. Of the four bands that played, two were excellent, one fabulous and one, slightly overwhelmed. Pick of the night was the not so out of town punk rock band, Pressure, from Derby, whose front man and songwriter Ben Liverman executed the lovable nutter routine to perfection. With a tight sound that is reminiscent of Madness and Billy Idol, and catchy lyrics that are easy to grasp if verging on the barmy, 'Are you gonna get abducted today?' as but one intriguing example. Pressure impressed with their enthusiasm, professionalism, humility and excellent musicality "For us, success tonight means filling up our mailing list," said Liverman, before he went on stage. The band, which already has two CDs recorded, is hoping to get a music video aired on television in the near future.
