Five Points Gang began life in early 2019. After jamming at a rehearsal studio in Notting Hill, the band formed around the nucleus of guitarist and vocalist, Joe Pearson and bassist Dinho Barral. Pearson had just recently relocated to London from South Wales, and Barral had only been in the city a few weeks, having moved from his home in Brazil. The two musicians hit it off right from the start, and the mandate was clear — “bring blues into the 21st Century”.
‘Wanted’ is the debut album from acclaimed progressive blues band, Five Points Gang. Although relatively new to the scene, they are already making a big impression. Since releasing their live album back in 2019, this power-house trio have developed and crafted a sound which stands them apart from the customary blues-rock releases of today.
Totalling 13 tracks, this album is a hefty collection of hits, and they’ve made sure not to leave anything out - there’s something for everyone.
