based rock band The Reasoning features four times winner of the Classic Rock
Society's Best Female Vocalist award Rachel Cohen along with Owain Roberts
(guitar), Tony Turrell (keyboards/vocals), Matthew Cohen (bass) and Jake
Bradford-Sharp (drums).
The
band's 2006 debut Awakening included a guest appearance from Marillion's Steve
Rothery and garnered worldwide critical acclaim. Dark Angel released in 2008
continued to expand the band's international fan base. In 2009 The Reasoning's
first single, a cover of the Duran Duran classic The Chauffeur, reached No.2 in
the Amazon Download Chart.
The
Reasoning released their highly anticipated third studio album in April 2010.
Adverse Camber, mixed by Joe Gibb (Leftfield, Massive Attack), demonstrates a
new confidence and maturity. Whilst retaining their trademark sound; powerful
vocal harmonies, strong melodies and dual guitars, Adverse Camber takes The
Reasoning into new musical territory, appealing to a wider audience than ever
before.
The band
have toured in Europe and performed alongside Marillion and Fish on several
occasions. In July 2010 the organisers of the inaugural High Voltage festival
in London invited The Reasoning to open the final day of the event. Playing
prior to the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Opeth and ELP, the band's performance won
them many new fans. Excellent live band
with a lot of “presence”.

Sanguine Hum is the third group to feature the line up of Matt
Baber, Joff Winks and Brad Waissman and builds on the strong foundations left
by its preceding musical ancestors. In effect, Sanguine Hum is a “no holds
barred” approach to being a rock band. Complex ensemble work, profound
song-writing, uniquely ambitious instrumental pieces and an equally important
attention to the sonic landscape of the music as a whole give the band its
defining characteristics. Sanguine Hum will excite both existing fans of Joff
Winks Band and Antique Seeking Nuns and open the door for a brand new audience
looking to engage with music of integrity, passion and musical intelligence. In
our opinion complex, witty and original
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A delicious fusion of styles, Panic Room play with musical genres
like an expert juggling team – and push their dynamic boundaries to the
extreme.
Heavy, dark rockers sit happily alongside big epic ballads; playful poppy
numbers lead into lush, dreamy soundtracks…
All of this is woven together beautifully by the soaring, ‘boundless’ voice of
Anne-Marie Helder - winner of the prestigious ‘BEST FEMALE VOCALIST’ award 2010
(Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine) - and with the signature
‘big hooks’ of Panic Room –
songs that will stay in your head for weeks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tin Spirits first got together in Swindon UK in the summer
of 2008, when Daniel Steinhardt from TheGigRig invited former XTC guitarist
(and musical hero) Dave Gregory to a local studio to video record an 'amp
shoot-out' with Dan's band The Hi-Fidels, comprising bassist Mark Kilminster
and drummer Doug Mussard. They soon
assembled a strong repertoire of guitar-orientated prog covers, together with a
few XTC songs, and began playing gigs in 2009 to very positive audiences.
Now with the release of their debut offering 'Wired to Earth', their star is very
much in the ascendant.
Dave Gregory (guitar) was a member of UK band XTC for 19 years, performing on
the hits 'Making Plans For Nigel', 'Senses Working Overtime' and 12 studio
albums, including the band's alter-egos The Dukes Of Stratosphear.
He is probably more familiar to Marillionaires through his work on Steve
Hogarth's 1996 album 'Ice Cream Genius', and as a member of Steve's legendary
h-Band. With few interests outside music, Dave continues to work as the spirit
moves him, recently playing sessions for Bournemouth prog-heads Big Big Train,
and writing and recording at home for Tin Spirits - the band, he says, which
has saved his musical life.
