The Gig Cartel - Artist profiles: Blackballed

Formed in 2012, this Oldham based trio features brothers Marshall (guitar/vocals) and Leon Gill (drums) and Tom Wibberley on bass.
 
Marshall is a phenomenal guitarist who is also a member of top UK cult band New Model Army. In between touring and recording duties for them, Blackballed gives him a platform to air this other musical direction. Bits of Led Zeppelin, early ZZ Top, Rory Gallagher, Cream and country rock shine through.
 
It's a full on sound and they describe themselves as a 'well turned out full tilt oiled engine with a ton of groove rock power.' Which pretty much sums them up!
