A’Priori – Turning Up The Volume

Single – Turn It Up

Released – 26th July 24

Review and additional Photographs by Linda McDermott

A’Priori are a three-piece hard rock band from Blackpool, who formed six years ago. They are known for their distinctive hard rock sound and have just released the second single, ‘Turn It Up’, from their upcoming third album, ‘Voodoo Love’, which is due for release in the autumn. This hard-working band stands out in the crowded rock scene, thanks to their unique twist on the genre, with a sound that hooks you in and keeps you there.

A’Priori are:

Tony Lang – Vocals/Guitar

Mouse – Drums

Mark Wilson – Keyboards

The guys have supported many great rock bands over those six years, including Terrorvision, Massive Wagons, Florence Black and Kris Barras. They have built up a loyal fan base as they tour relentlessly, gathering new followers as they go. They have also played to bigger crowds at festivals such as Call of the Wild, HRH, Firevolt and Rockwich.

Despite being a three-piece, their sound is impressively loud and melodic, a testament to their talent and passion. They have two albums under their belt, ‘House of Cards and ‘Black Church’, both of which are exceptional, and both worthy of a download.

With a great mix of influences coming from the likes of Guns n Roses, Alter Bridge, Royal Blood, Slipknot, Audioslave, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Soundgarden, the band have carved out their own unique sound, with inspiring musical elements that are both creative and original.

The new single, ‘Turn It Up’ epitomises what fans have come to expect, a high-quality track fuelled by their dedication and musicianship. At the heart of their music is Tony’s unique voice, which gives the band part of its signature sound, that along with Mouse and Mark on drums and keyboard creates a rich powerful mix that sets them apart from other bands at the moment, and that’s an advantage in my humble opinion.

This latest release not only showcases their musical talent but also their ability to continually innovate within the hard rock genre. Tony says of the track “This song is a fun straight to the point tune. We all have that one song that you just have to Turn up to 11, this song pays tribute to that feeling”. The band’s passion is evident in every

note, making their music a compelling choice for those seeking a fresh twist in their musical taste.

Lyrics: Turn It Up

Bodies moving to the beat of the drum

Let it drop like an atom bomb

Wrap yourself round a tree

You brought the world to its knees

You’re dancing naked for free

this is a new world

Woah woah

You better turn that noise down Oh no

I’m gonna turn it up loud Woah woah

Does this thing go past ten

God only knows we’re gonna raise the dead

Turn it up

Turn it up

Play it loud

Your favourite song is on the radio

Turn it up Turn it up

Sing it proud

Your favourite song is on the radio

Try to climb on the spider Web

Yeah, you got skills but that don’t mean jack

Nobody cares for that

Where all your numbers at

We’re saying

We’re saying

Woah woah

You better turn that noise down Oh no

I’m gonna turn it up loud Woah woah

Does this thing go past ten

God only knows we’re gonna raise the dead

Turn it up Turn it up

Play it loud

Your favourite song is on the radio

Turn it up Turn it up

Sing it proud

Your favourite song is on the radio
