Knights of yore dedicated themselves to service of their king and to God. The unchivalrous act of heresy was not an option, as that would be grounds for dismissal via head-lopping. But three heretical knights managed to flee to Leeds and, in lieu of saving damsels and forcibly converting Middle Easterners, formed a rock 'n' roll band.
May I introduce to you the Heresy Knights.
"You'll personify Sex, you'll personify Drugs, and I'll personify Rock & Roll. We'll be the Three Amigos of music!"
They've only got two songs up on their myspace page, but both sound like early-90s George Harrison B-sides; mellow, hooky, and straight from a songwriting workshop. That being said, this isn't the worst thing to pop into my friends request box. The music didn't strike any chords with my soul, but at least it was tolerable. But if you're going to give these guys a courtesy listen, be warned-- the song "Tease" is about two minutes too long. If you were planning to re-lace one of your shoes, or going out to check the mail, or making yourself a sandwich, or any other menial two-minute task, you can just forget about it.
If I were some sort of flaming fasionista charged with reshaping these lads' image, I'd start with the band name. Heresy Knights? No-ho. Try the Suavetones, or The Three Calientes, or ANYTHING that would indicate that they're not aiming for a particular niche audience composed of Renaissance fair reenactors. Next, the logo's gotta go. I know somebody spent a good three hours putting it together in photoshop, but if you pay real money to real designers you could have something far more un-silly. As for the band members' physical appearance... eh, they look okay to me.
Heresy Knights, coming to a Leeds near you.
I rate them 5 Templars out of 10
