Biography
Members: Andy Law (Lead Vocals); Dave Leese (Lead & Rhythm guitars); Chris Khosa (Lead & Rhythm); Tom Shaw (Bass Guitar); Bob Myatt (Drums & Percussion)

Background: Headrush are in negotiations over a Publishing Deal with ‘The New Black Corporation’ which is headed by the A&R man who signed ‘The Hives’ ‘HIM’ ‘Beth Orton’ ‘Death in Vegas’ and even ‘Kylie Minogue’ as well as working with such industry giants as the legendary ‘Clive Davis’.

Headrush began when guitarist Dave 'sleeze' Leese met singer Andy Law at a gig Andy was playing with his former band. Andy has a natural ability for melody and has already been likened to such legends as Bruce Dickinson, Sebastian Bach, Graham Bonnet, and Steve Perry whilst still managing to retain his own unique style and charisma. Drummer Bob Myatt brought in his Aerosmith styled, Funky Roc  Drumming to the band, and Tom Shaw was added to the band with a unique 5-string full on Bass attack that lays down the bands booming, heavy trademark sound. Last of all Chris 'The Tramp' Khosa brought in a rip-roaring chainsaw 2nd guitar, and developed a classic twin lead guitar partnership with founder member Dave ' sleeze' Leese, leading to mutually assured guitar destruction!

Headrush's direction, musically and stylistically, is in the vein of such greats as Guns'n'Roses, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, and AC/DC. With Dave and Chris (Guitars) and Andy (Vocals) forming the bands songwriting partnership, Bob and Tom providing the driving rhythm, Headrush's live shows are full of high octane energy and 100% fun. With songs full of big choruses, infectious melodies, and riffs that stick in your head after one listen, Headrush have a list of songs that are sure-fire singles. The quintet ring true to their own catchphrase - 'Back again...Rock'n'roll.' The Rock'n'Roll anthem 'Perfect Drug', the explosive ‘A Thousand Pictures’, the uplifting 'Saviour', and pure in your face attitude of 'Just Bring It On' make up Headrush's debut single EP, along with a whole albums worth of future singles such as the driving 'Where I Belong', the epic 'Fallin', and the heart tugging 'Set In Stone'. Best Moments So Far: After less than 2 years together obtaining a PR partnership with Quite Great PR, whose clients include - Kiss, Guns'n'Roses, Faith No More, Bon Jovi.
