Our Song/Artist: The 99's

The 99's are an indie rock band from the Saddleworth in the UK, made up of three band members;

The three 99ers developed their musical identity through time together at school, and grew into a band when James Loughlin and Adam Quigley recruited singer and guitarist Johnny West from seeing him at his stints in the local folk clubs.

The two years since have seen appearances on Clint Boon’s XFM show and the prestigious In The City festival which, added to heavy local gigging, has established the trio as a live song-writing force. 2009 saw the band take their show to London, with three successive gigs sold out at venues such as the Water Rats and Club 229, with much industry praise.

“We want to put where we come from back on the map for the right reason...The music we write reflects our area. We write songs on top of hills.” (Johnny West)

The 99s debut album was released in Spring 2010 due to overwhelming public demand.
