Bootleg Dan Presents: Sharp Class, Muck and the Mires, The Chelsea Curve, DJ Sherman
Sharp Class are a British power trio whose music fuses the DNA of punk, soul, power-pop, Brit-pop, and rock ‘n’ roll. With a debut album under their belts and a second album on the way, the trio are blazing a trail of catchy, power-pop-laden songs.Having already headlined at Splendour Festival, performed a tour in the USA, and been namechecked by Green Day, Sharp Class are certainly on the rise. The band take pride in delivering their live shows with energy, excitement, vigour and passion as they believe “that’s where it really counts”. As one fan said after seeing the band live for the first time “You can tell that for them three lads, it’s more than just playing a setlist of songs. It’s the reason they do what they do, and they do it very well indeed.”
The band have been described as “Refreshingly Vintage” which seems like a juxtaposition, but Sharp Class make it work. It could be down to their dress sense, as they don an image that would slip in with the height of the swinging sixties yet still feels understood and relatable within the 21st century. Maybe it’s the fact that their music is tinged with the sound of treasured bands from the seventies, eighties and even nineties, whilst written on the canvas of today. It’s definitely, both of those things.

Boston's MUCK & THE MIRES were once described as “a mix of the 1964 Beatles and The Ramones” by legendary Runaways producer Kim Fowley (Fowley went on to produce several of the band’s records). The group achieved worldwide recognition after they were crowned #1 US Garage Rock Band by LITTLE STEVEN Van Zandt in his battle of the bands on MTV. They have performed coast-to-coast in the USA, UK, EU, South America, Canada, Mexico and Japan. And they have shared bills with many of their heroes including The Sonics, The New York Dolls, Ray Davies (The Kinks), The Flamin' Groovies, The Stooges, and even a Beatle - Pete Best!
The band’s lineup features founding members Muck (ex-Voodoo Dolls/The Queers) on vocals and guitar, Jessie Best on drums, Pedro Mire (ex-The Apehangers) on lead guitar and long-time bassist John Quincy Mire. When they are not on the road, you can hear Muck and the Mires being broadcast and streamed everywhere including in SIRIUS XM's Underground Garage's where their hit "I'm Your Man" was voted the first "COOLEST SONG IN THE WORLD"

The Chelsea Curve - “The trio take the best parts of powerpop, punk, mod, rock-’n’-soul and everything in between to create something that sounds fresh yet familiar and fully conceived. Kinda like The Muffs took on Elvis Costello as an additional member.” ADD TO WANTLIST, NICK, APRIL 2022
Inspired by Boston and British culture, and properly bonded over a love of ‘70s punk and the mod style and sound, The Chelsea Curve are composed of Linda Pardee (bass and vocals) and Tim Gillis (guitar and vocals), with Bruce Caporal (drums) holding down the steady backbeat. The band launched The Singles Scene in 2021, an eight-month rollout of one new song every four weeks, earning a steady presence on both social media and in-the-know radio stations and shows around the world. The success of The Singles Scene led directly into The Chelsea Curve’s March 2022 debut record ‘All The Things’ via red-hot indie label Red On Red Records, which earned widespread blog and media praise and global indie radio airplay. From there, the stages grew larger, as did the crowds: The band played the 2022 Boston Calling Music Festival, skipped across the Atlantic for a UK tour, and held court at scooter rallies from Boston to Las Vegas. Spring of 2023 found the band releasing their latest single “How Can I (Resist You)?” racking up rave reviews and airplay. The rest of 2023 saw the band playing relentlessly on their own, and also supporting US tours with UK’s Sharp Class and The Len Price 3, as well as, Norway’s The Cocktail Slippers. 2024 kicked off with a bang, the band playing a set of spring UK dates, including an appearance at the 45th anniversary of Mods Mayday in London! The band shifts gears and heads into the studio this fall, and will hit select stages, as well!
