The Formative Years


The Formative Years were a rock/pop/indie band formed by singer-songwriter Adam Burke in Leigh.

Band history

They found success after their first single, "Radio 55", was played on a radio show based in California. Their songs were later played by the BBC in the UK. They are probably best known for songs such as "Questions & Answers", "Don't Let Go", and "Lazy". They recorded three EPs on Freelands Records and they later recorded with Liverpool musician, Billy Kinsley, on their track, "Lazy". After several tour dates and local gigs, they parted ways in mid-2007 when Adam Burke left to front a new band, New Blood Stories.
