BIOGRAPHY
Chris Singleton comes from Dublin. Influenced by classic acts such as Bowie, The Beatles, The Stone Roses, The Who and Pink Floyd, his music is characterised by great melodies and an engaging production technique which combines traditional rock and pop instruments (guitars, organ, drums, piano) with contemporary sounds - dirty drum samples, crunchy electronica and digital effects.

For the past couple of years Chris has been recording an album called "Twisted City". Written on the back of tube tickets, boarding cards and newspapers found abandoned in railway stations, the record is conceived as a tube journey through London. Each song is a stop on the line and deals with a different 'place', whether a London location or an experience. The album's opener, "Worry Number One" - a rocky, "Pink Floyd-on-speed" affair - starts with a driver announcing a departure of a train; from then on the train takes the listener through a very diverse musical landscape. Taking in glam rock ("Get Up"), acoustic ballads ("Pieces") and even a bit of punk (the end of the title track involves a Johnny Rotten impersonator shouting his head off), "Twisted City" is an album clearly made on - and about - a move. The songs are inspired by London (both the good bits and the bad) and the album reflects the excitement of getting to know the city and the struggle to make it there.
