"This is pop music, no aggression, no gimmicks, no funky haircuts or dance moves to sell the songs, just honest, upfront loveable music" Liam Haynes
Sandman Magazine
"Great lo-fi girl-fronted indie pop, in the vein of early Velocity Girl. Vocals remind me of the girl in Arcade Fire." Kris - The Ataris.
"AURORA STRIPE
Lincoln four-piece, some of whom are still at school, yet they write some of the most sumptious, melancholy pop since Tanya Donnelly and Kirstin Hersch first locked horns and heads."
-Dom Gourlay Drowned in Sound
"SAFE MINTY FRESH SOUNDS" Lloyd Cochran
"Aurora Stripe - The most talented young band in the county" Bill Marney
'Eastroad' Manager
"Having started in 2006 and already making quite a name for themselves with solid hooks and catchy beats, [Aurora Stripe] create the sort of music that sets moods and gives thrills! It's raw, theirs no gimmicks, just honest heart felt lyrics and playing. It draws from real talent and that is what will get them far! I recommend checking them out and keeping an eye out for what's to come, I think they'll surprise everyone!" Kizzy H.

"They're in my session studio, I like them there" Nick Wilmshurst

Greetings,
i felt it's time to update you all, give you a glimpse at what has been happening in camp A-Stripe in 2008. after playing a few shows this year, we took time out to write new material but our hearts just weren't into writing the indie-pop that we had become known for. we sort of felt pressured to write more of this and it became apparent that this is not the sort of music we wanted to be writing. We went our own ways for a little while, barely talking at times.
Recently we learnt that Steve had moved away to be closer to work and is doing well with that so all the best to him. Dan, Anna and myself began talking again and decided we wanted to get a new project going, something different to what we have done before. we got together and wrote a few tracks which we were really happy with and so think we have found a new drummer and are going to spend the summer rehearsing and recording demos.
We all feel that we have out-grown Aurora Stripe now and so will probably not be playing any more full-band shows under this name - (at least for a while)
I will however be doing DJ sets under the name, maybe even dropping a few of our old songs from time to time, just to keep the old fans happy. If you fancy a night out to have a drink and a dance to some Aurora Stripe then please keep checking back to see where i'l be DJing and come by to say 'Hi!'.
Due to a new direction and line-up, we feel it's time for a fresh start and will probably be chosing a different name for the new project. (If you have any idea's for names then feel free to leave us a message!) I look forward to announcing more information about our future projects however we are keeping things a lot tighter under wraps so you will just have to be patient and see what exciting things we have got in store for you.
Thank you for your continued support!
It means a lot to us all.
