Below is a review I have done of Sterling when they played Club Blub @ Half Moon, Bishops Stortford in May of this year.
They have the right combination of attitude, catchy lyrics, showmanship and (most importantly) really good at playing their music live! Their sound ranged from Arctic Monkeys to on the cusp of Brit-Rock. They are a force to be reckoned with and with another strong local following be sure to pop along to one of their gigs as you won't be disappointed, and may I say 'A Sterling performance'!You can hear the Oasis influence more than the rest but I'd hardly say that's a problem. They sound better than Oasis, and this is evident in the track that's up on their bandpage on facebook. 'Heading For The Sun' is (in a nut-shell) what this band is all about, a perfect advert for them.

Ive seen this band a few times, and ive got to say i was dissapointed. They used to be so much better and really stand out. Now theyre just the same as everyone else out there. Also when i saw them the seemed to spend half of their set sorting out the guitarist, only for the sound guy to switch his amp on?!.. come on! They keep anouncing thier "new line up".. i say bring back the old one!

Sterling pure Brit/Rock and Roll, the old members had to go as they wanted to change Sterling into an american wannabe grunge band and there's enough of them around. Sterling are all about keeping it British and true to themselves. You wont here a fake american accent here !
