Hans Commission

Hans Commission combine classic rock riffs with lead synths to create a contemporary sound with a retro edge. Based in London, Hans Commission have been gigging the London scene for two years, including prestigious venues such as 333 Mother Bar Old Street, The Fly Bar Camden, Zigfrid Underbelly Hoxton & 93 East, Shoreditch. Additionally they have also made an impact in Manchester at The Roadhouse. Their objective for 2011 is to take Hans Commission national, and their plan is to gig nationwide. Alex Surguy provides lead vocals and synths, he has a strong, deep vocal and a charismatic stage persona that gives the band its great stage presence. Alex has appeared in videos alongside U2, The Rolling Stones and Soulwax. As well as playing the famous KOKO Club with previous band Veto Silver. Daniel Towle's fast and intricate riffs on lead guitar, embellish the sound and give it a current feel. He worked as a session musician in Manchester before moving to London to form Hans Commission. Bringing a commanding rhythm to the band is Tom Ollis on drums, son of legendary Terry Ollis from Hawkwind. Tom has learnt many tricks from his father, and has played Glastonbury twice. Put them together and they provide a fusion of electro pop and indie rock that oozes style, attitude and commercial appeal. Already a hit in the Road Runner Alternative Rock Charts, Hans Commission made it to number 1 just two days after being uploaded to the site, while a new publishing deal should see their songs being made available on the major download sites before very long. Beginning with the highly anticipated release of their debut EP "Ruling Margins".
