What They Say...

These are a few reviews and comments we have received... and no we did not make them up or pay anyone! We are however very grateful for all the nice things said about us - and we do try to respond positively to constructive criticism - we positively sulk for a start! ;-)

Great to see Resurgence back on the music trail. Must say they they sounded as if they hadn't been away for so long. Great choice in music, superb range of vocal the singer had - all round wonderful evening - Bob, Comments Page, Cross Keys August 2010

Back with a Resurgence:
After a six month sabbatical, one of Leeds’ finest “live” bands are now back gigging again. Their return started recently at Mr Foleys in Leeds where, despite their gig-less few months the band was as polished as ever. With a lead singer (Kerrie) who looks coy before belting out song after song in a crystal glass shattering clarity, to the band members (The brilliant Bassist Helen, Guitar hero’s Dave and Snoopy and dynamic Drummer Graeme) each adding a professionalism which had the venue bouncing and the punters dancing. The classic tracks were there for all to enjoy, including, “Fever,” “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” “Teenage Kicks” and Blondie’s “One Way Or Another” which allowed the band to do the song justice where many have tried and failed. Brace yourselves as Resurgence are back and better than ever. http://keepmusiclive.blogspot.com/

Resurgence produced two exceptional sets of material to warm the movers & shakers through. This was probably the band's last appearance for a while vocalist Kerrie takes a sabbatical for an addition to the family but hopefully it won't be too long into the new year when Resurgence are back @ the Keys performing great music. This was by far the best Ihave heard the band play with what was a superb second set with a couple new numbers thrown in andit seems motherhood works well with Kerrie -to-nite was the best Ihave ever heard her sing! Her vocal range was just outstanding -backed up by the other members of the band Dave & Helen, Snoopy & Drummer Graeme. Resurgence will be well andtruly missed in their absence till the new year...The Old Git Mav' - Local hero and chief reviewer of The Cross Keys, November 2009"

Jjust to let you all know we had an absolutely fab night tonight thanks to Resurgence -they were fantastic. At one point only the drummer was on stage all the others were dancing with the regulars. Maybe a drum kit on wheels is the answer then he could have joined in poor lad. Thanks to Helen and co. -we really enjoyed it...

Called in at The New Rocoe on Friday to catch RESURGENCE doing their stuff. What a top band! We were treated to a tour through the eighties featuring numbers by the likes Gary Newman (yes! Gary Newman) to Joan Jett, Transvision Vamp and the Cramps - and just when you start feeling all black and Gothy they hit you between the thighs with a Kylie number. New singer Kerrie (looking very dominatrix like) can certainly sing, and kept the hoards of male admirers at the side of the stage in check and under her spell right til the last song.
The band has obvious sex appeal with the two girlies on board and if you can get past this you’ll see that the band as a whole are as tight as a proverbial knat’s arse. Great sounding guitars, great gig - just no kebab shop outside to cap the night off.

Would you put on the site how much we all enjoyed Resurgence once again at the club Saturday night - got to be the most pleasent people we've met; they go out of their way to be nice to everyone. Helen's lovely. (Stop looking smug Helen - Webmaster). Alan Wood came to see 'em, and was most impressed. Dunno if it was the band or Helen's fishnets. I had to keep wiping his mouth, he was drooling so much. Love Jo's voice - shes unique - and the band are the buisness too! - 'Fast' Eddie Cooper, Bellhouse Road WMC, March 2007

The boys and girls from Resurgence livened up a rather below par bunch of peeps last night @ the Keys - I must apologise myself for turning up late too! The band did two hard working spots adding their own unique sound to such classics as Rocking in the Free World which I thought was as near as dammit as you can get to the real mccoy and Radiohead's classic Creep, even slotting in a a bit of The Ramone's I Wanna be Sedated which had wifey tapping her feet. All in all good nights performace by the boys and girls so stick Resurgence on your 'to watch' list as I don't think there will be many disapointments on that score - 'The Old Git Mav' - Local hero and chief reviewer of The Cross Keys, January 2007"

First stop was to see our friends Resurgence play their first set at The Crimea Tavern. Approaching the bar was a pleasant sight with the bar staff resplendent in their Crimea Tavern T shirts, a nice feature. "Top Draw" Landlord Jimmy Duggan however was wearing a Resurgence T shirt and that is where we come in.....I was early enough to be able to speak with the band and what a pleasant group of people they are. Getting on to music matters, the band played a superb set of covers, and so well performed. They are now a very entertaining band with some well phrased vocals from Jojo. Her "attitude" whilst singing is very special, as if to say "Have some of this!" and yet off-stage she is a very quiet young lady. The bands lady bassist Helen adds to the glamour with well played Fender bass and a classic chic/goth mix of fashion. Guitarist's Mad Dog and Dave, a Bruce Springsteen lookalike, sounded well with a perfect blend of Engl and Fender amplification, with just enough volume to balance the very hard -hitting drummer Graham. You ought to have heard the snare! At the end of the first set I was buzzing as were the sizable crowd. To say I enjoyed it would be an understatement. I REALLY enjoyed it! - Steve Lally, Rock of the North, October 2006

Saw you for the first time at the Masons - wot can we say - f**k**n' awsome! Not the heavy rock that we follow but mint! - Peter Wright - September 2006

"...I loved every minute of it! Resurgence are a party band playing a wide range of material and they have a good time while they are playing it. I particularly enjoyed Pink Floyd's The Wall, and Dusty Springfield's I Only Wanna Be with You....heavily breathed on in the Resurgence style and The Cult's She Sells Sanctuary, amongst a lot of other very well presented songs. This band are a two guitars, lady bass player, drums, and a female vocalist with a lot of power and attitude. It was a very enjoyable end to the weekend" - Steve Lally, Rock of the North, Summer 2006
