The Side Effects...

The Side Effects - If you've seen the band live you'll know what they sound like it and its like no-one else. Is one mass of guitars and keyboards and percussion and brass orchestrated by a fantastic young front man all fused together into a great show where no two songs sound the same and the audience are as much a part of the performance as the band.
