We are THE NEW TIMES!!! Formed in the summer of 2008 in Dundee by Lead Vocalist David Hennessy as a raw singer/songwriter.He recruited his younger brother Gordon Hennessy(Bassist) and Liam Pullar(Drums) (who were only 16 at this time!)to play the music that they loved...PUNK.Originally playing 2 minute punk songs or any Clash cover to any venue that would have them, The New Times reputation in their hometown grew rapidly due to their energetic live shows and erratic stage presence,the band were difficult to get away from.Feeling that they needed to mature they recruited Graeme Jackson(Guitarist) to boost their sound.Yearning to be taken more seriously the band acquiring new musical influences such as Modest Mouse,The Pixies,The Cure etc but managing to keep their still poppy/punky edge . In the time that the band have been together this had led to the band playing alongside some incredible bands both signed and unsigned such as THE TWANG, THE FOXES, THE BLUETONES, BLOOD RED SHOES,THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT,TANGO IN THE ATTIC,THE RAY SUMMERS,UNDERGROUND HEROES, HIP PARADE, LITTLE COMETS & POSE VICTORIOUS,10:04s,THE OK SOCIAL CLUB - The New Times have firmly established themselves as one of Dundee's and Scotland's best young live bands, they really are an exciting young band not to be missed!!The New Times were also successful in winning the greasy lips competition with Alan McGee judging and picking us to win,this article can be found here http://www.thecourier.co.uk/Living/Music/article/10475/alan-mcgee-sees-new-stars-in-the-new-times.html Our Single is the video link below:
