Main Influences on The Majority

The Alarm have and continue to be a huge influence on the music we write. U2's early material was a source of inspiration. The Jam when Paul Weller was at his best. The Faith Brothers were brilliant and should have received so much more recognition and Billy Franks is probably the best songwriter I have heard. Velvet Crush, The Long Ryders, The Skids, U2, The Police, The Vapours, Green Day, The Power Of Dreams, Dodgy, Stiff Little Fingers, The Levellers. Last but not least The Nolans with their divine inspiration.
