Three Wise Men were following a star, and so it led to the Cavern in ..Liverpool.., where some Scouse messiahs were planning a great party.  Verily, they cried "Come one, come all and share drink and music aplenty at the 10 Reasons to Live annual Christmas shindig..."
 
"...Make like the Wise Men, follow your Christmas star down to the Cavern on 27th December, for fun, frolics, Francincense and Myrrh (what IS Myrrh anyway?).  Get there early, cos you don't want to make that big long trip only to be told that there's no room at the ..Inn.. now dooooyer?"
 
...oh and by the way, they're not the messiahs... they're very naughty boys!

 

Doors open at 8pm and tickets are available right now from www.10reasonstolive.com for only £5

It’s been a funny old year what with our ‘out with the old and in with the new’ – but we’re happy to report that all is once more harmonious in ....Camp.. ..10RTL.....  Ste Mak has been carefully put through his paces, honed and stylized to the 10RTL way of working (translation:  Johno ‘borrowed’ his favourite jacket, Ste B used up the last of his hairspray and Worzel kipped on his couch for three days) and with this initiation complete, we are ready and raring to record our next album, get on the road and keep you lot out there in the manner to which you have become accustomed.

 

As a little thankyou to our followers and fans for sticking with us through our troubled times (cue violins) we’re giving you this little gift.  We hope you listen to it, love it and it makes itself at home in your music collection.  If you love it, pass the love on.  Tell your mates it’s a free education in the language of ROCK (but say it in a Jack Black voice).

 

I guess there’s nothing more for us to do except tell you to grab a drink, sit back, relax and crank up that volume, the louder the better, ASBOs and elbows.   We hope our new EP will keep you company adequately until we can see you once again out on the road, bigger and better than ever!

 

As always

So as a gigger this is definitely one band worthy of blog attention; from a rainy night in Peterborough I was undecided about this band-were they too much ‘hard rock’ for me? I reserved judgement, so with short notice, the opportunity to divulge in good music and Manchester almost local it was always too hard to resist; I decided to check out these guys one more time, put my predictions to the test and for once I can admit with a smile I am pleased I was wrong. 
After a week feeling soul destroyed by sell outs I dragged myself at brake neck speeds from work and into a journey with a gig friend I have so greatly missed;  SatNav misbehaving we tried to get our bearings unwittingly we had already arrived (it’s the blondes within us!).  The venue; The Studio; small, intimate with a good vibe-I worried at crowd numbers and timings of a beat a little concerning to the ear.  The guys entered looking ever like stars and yet grounded. 
I was pushed to the front feeling a little awkward as a 10RTL novice standing with amongst hardcore devotees but as they struck the first chords of a song that had been playing in my car since May gone were the thoughts of hard thrash rock.  The levels were perfect and quickly adjusted from confident band members who were not afraid to make it the best they could.  As Breathe sang out the precision of harmonies flowed showing off the professionalism and talent of this band.  This band show substance; with a new singer-his voice strong and unique swiftly made the previous sounds of the CD fade into a forgotten era; 10 Reasons are like the phoenixes rising from the ashes and soon to hit and alight the world with their effervescent glow.  They showed their unity and ease with one another; which, as they grow accustomed with the new front man will only increase the strength and versatility of this band.
This bands sound will take them far; carried on great guitar riffs of perfectly placed highs and lows riding the waves of angst to rocked out love songs that put you in a good place.  Although they are rock in the perfect sense of the word, this is not thrash but sounds reminiscent of days when we were allowed to rock out; far away from four piece formations that gain the attention of 14 year olds-this is solid music built on firm foundations of talent, hard work and belief in music.  I can understand their successes and what my music guru friend has been trying to tell me.  For a band with limited time to rehearse they are unified and adaptable showing passion for what they believe and talent to deliver this at every level. Regardless of their young ages they have the professionalism of an established 40 year strong band, a far cry away from some of today’s acts. The only disappointment was the last song came too soon.
Aside self penned tunes and production the essence of 10 Reasons to Live is their belief in music; they have not been turned by fame nor use it as vessel for higher gains; these guys definitely have the stamina to party rock ‘n’ roll style but unlike other bands I have seen grow and succumb to recognition these guys will always invite you along for the ride.  They make time for idle banter, carry their own guitars and are not too eager to stick to well rehearsed sets. They genuinely appear to care about what they are doing; taking time to write music with meaning and whether they play to 50 or 5000 they aim to deliver every time.  This is a band I would implore you to see; they have potential for success.  They have rejuvenated my faith that musicians can be talented, good looking and nice people.  Still at novice status I hopefully write a balanced review. So can I think of 10 reasons why I’m plugging this band? Overnight I’ve come up with many more. One thing I have learnt from a September night in Manchester is that while you’re living you need to check out this band because they will definitely give you 10 and more reasons to feel alive.

Things may seem to have been a little quiet around here lately but we assure you thats not the case!  Behind the scenes we’re working hard on making this acoustic E.P as good as we possibly can. We’re picking only the songs we feel are the best to introduce our new singer Ste.  Dont forget to register on our mailing list so we can let you know as soon as its ready to download.
We’ve also started work on our 2nd studio album which will be available to buy later in the year we hope (it always takes us longer than we think to do anything!) and towards the end of the summer we also plan to get out and do a few shows too, so anyone whos missed us keep checking back on our website and myspace for dates.
 
Finally we’d  like to say a big thank you for all the messages welcoming Ste and also congratulations to the Doc. 

Now when Paul gets ill from drinking too much milk, The Doc can  sort him out.
