Linkwells - A Sonic Fusion of Rebellion and Melody

Driven by a shared passion for music and a deep-seated reverence for their influences, Linkwells draw inspiration from the rebellious spirit of The Clash, the raw energy of Kings of Leon, the soulful melodies of Stereophonics, the poetic brilliance of Bob Dylan, and the garage rock revivalism of The White Stripes. A four-piece band from Malvern, Linkwells are experienced performers and recording musicians who are dedicated to getting the best out of any situation.
 

Linkwells weave together stories that reflect the human experience, from the trials and triumphs of everyday life to the universal themes of love, loss, and redemption. With lyrics that resonate with authenticity and melodies that linger in the mind long after the music fades, each song is a testament to the band's commitment to crafting meaningful and memorable music.

The band invites you to join them on a musical journey that links the past and the present, weaving together the threads of iconic influences to create a tapestry of sound that is unmistakably theirs.

Keep an ear to the ground, as Linkwells welcome you to connect with the heart and soul of their music, bridging generations and forging a link that transcends time.
