FEDERAL Charm, the Manchester quarter, will be heading across the UK in June and July in their Crossing The Divide tour.

The quartet will perform at Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach on July 8.

Federal Charm are full of twin-guitar twists and stop-start rhythms. Their original take and fresh direction on the classic rock curve has turned many. They draw from a deep well – from The Allman Brothers to Led Zeppelin, stopping off on the way to pay a call in at Free and Thin Lizzy, the revamp-blues of The Black Keys and the contemporary bluster of Rival Sons.

Lauded for the punchy attack of their debut, Federal Charm continue their mission to take their genre of choice to the next level.

What you get is no-holds barred, fiery, inventive rock ’n’ roll.

The dual guitar work of Nick Bowden and Paul Bowe is intricate and polished, with Bowden’s vocal way defying conventional range and Bowe’s showmanship enjoyably captivating. The two guitar prodigies are ably assisted by the rhythm section of bassist LD Morawski and Danny Rig on drums.

Last year was a very fine year for Federal Charm, their second album Across The Divide was released and met with acclaim both here and abroad.

This year is shaping up in a similar manner with the band releasing Master Plan to coincide with the Crossing The Divide tour.
