All bare emotion and quiet musical strokes, and very
lovely it is too. - BBC RADIO1
'Audiocalm are THE best acoustically led rock band in South Wales. Full of emotion, melody and adventure, Audiocalm are fantastic musically and fantastic lyrically. Fall is a feisty heart-pounding piece and lead track, the astounding Too Much gets the hairs standing with pure emotion. It’s so good it came close to winning a music writer’s award and people are starting to take notice. Audiocalm play chilled out music where the power of the lyrics and the pulsing blends of the music work in tandem to create beautiful harmony.' -

'A band that everyone is talking about with folk and roots music in its soul, Audiocalm has now added more adrenalin to the mix to stunning effect. The band has evolved a hard edge to match singer Andy Huntley’s heartfelt lyrics and soaring vocals that draws you in when watching live.
The perfect combination of stab-you-in-the-heart lyrics and violently peaking guitars has now become the bands stock-in-trade.
This Cardiff based 4 piece have been in the studio with Amazing producers including Ian Grimble, the man in the control room when Travis created The Man Who and the Manics recorded This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours. Grimble, (Travis, MSP, Boy Kill Boy) was drawn to the band by the melodies, the quality of the songs and the bands ability to write catchy hit singles.
'Too Much' was recently carefully examined by expert music industry judges and placed in the top 5 as a semi finalist in the 2008 UK Songwriting Contest. The contest is held in association with the BRIT trust, The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, BBC Radio, The World Music Foundation and other industry bodies.
