   About OUR FOLD

Welcome To Our Fold

We are a group from within a group, Our Fold came together through a shared love of good music, and the lack of it within the small town of Westhoughton. This drew them together socially, and from these times of indulgence the foundations of some of their bigger songs were laid. It was in the Spring of 2005 a conscious decision was then made to form a solid 4 piece Al guitarist and drummer Ryan had begun to jam together and sought the help of established vocalist/guitarist Damien. The only remaining piece was a bassist, Dan a seasoned guitarist turned his hand to the 4 strings of the bass, and the band was complete.

July '05 saw Our Fold christen the stage, in an explosive duo of performances within hours of each other. Instantly acquiring a small but dedicated following who made the journey from venue to venue with as much enthusiasm as the band themselves. From here the band have navigated the country playing with many established bands such as The Fratellis, Badly Drawn Boy, Art Brut, The Noisettes, Boy Kill Boy, Ian McCulloch, The Hooisers, Wheatus, The Paddingtons, Foals, The Rascals, Bromheads Jacket and even The Vengaboys! in even more established venues in Britains major cities.

Building on these achievements Our Fold have been hailed Local Genius and The hardest working band in the area by local critics. This has led to the enviable achievement of not only making, but topping the NME.COM unsigned chart. This recent hype, and the hard work put in by the band themselves has help build a wider and solid live following. However nothing compares to Our Folds local shows which have been known to end with both the fans and the bands enthusiasm reaching boiling point creating an atmosphere of chaotic excitement.

In 2008 the band have gone from strength to strength recording a lot more new material and making appearances at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Leeds and Reading Festivals. They now are in the process of releasing there debut album and first single She Goes On towards the end of the year/2009 through Scorpia Records.

Both through attendance at live performances, and the numerous recorded tracks put down in the studio have attracted interest from people throughout the music industry. This interest continues to grow along with the increasingly large back catalogue of songs.

In the beginning it was said that anyone attending a live date, or lending their ear to the bands music in any other form were to be part of this group.
