Piano was originally formed by Jeremy Mortimer and Christopher Haywood back in 2000, seeking to pursue their musical interests in light of a fluent writing partnership. As numerous members came and went, the band followed a varied musical evolution through rock, hardcore, pop covers, progressive, and neo-classical instrumental work. A renewed focus was discovered with the introduction of Ciaran Cahill, and the band began to gig with the likes of Eden Maine, My Awesome Compilation, Jairus, and Tribute To Nothing. In 2005 Piano signed to Japanese label Zestone records through whom the debut EP ‘Monogamy is Encouraged’ was released; selling many thousands over the first few months. Shortly afterwards came the departure of then vocalist Ben Jones, enforcing a 6 month hiatus. Piano bounced back recruiting talented vocalist, Daniel Tompkins, and finally producing a new and exciting balance between each member’s solo abilities. A UK tour followed playing with Second Smile, Second Monday and The Abner. As a result of the success of the EP and a growing fan base, Piano were invited to headline a tour of Japan in late 2006, playing packed venues with the likes of Lost, Envy and Palm.
In 2007 the band started work on new material, the intelligence and appeal of which was noticed by Sikth duo Dan Weller and Justin Hill; who duly joined the band in the studio. The forthcoming EP is set to be the springboard for exciting times.

Thanks for the add guys. I was just listening to you for the first time about 10 mins ago after seeing that Dan had got the FSOF postion, so wanted to see what he sounded like! Lucky I did, cos the track you have up is really really good, love it. I'm sure Dan'll be great in FSOF too, it'll really take their sound to the next level.
