   About THE BAND OF THE EYE
Photobucket

Formed in 2007, Bristol-based trio The Band of the Eye is gigging around the UK and has been played on many radio stations and podcasts in the UK, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the US.

The band played its first gig in April 2007 and has become a regular in south-west venues like The Fleece, The Croft, The Louisiana and Moles Club as well as playing further afield.

The January/February 2008 issue of Alternative magazine included The Band of the Eye's 'Beatnik Acoustics' on the cover-mount CD. In January and February the band spent time in London recording new music at Press Play Studios with producer Paul Tipler. Three songs were recorded, ‘Lippy Children’, ‘Dress-Down Day’ and ‘Sad Old World’. The new music was mastered at Toybox Studios in Bristol.

The Band of the Eye's debut single was released on 16 May by Shifty Disco and is available here.


'Strangely addictive stuff from Bristol based grizzled power poster trio The Band of the Eye... [A] combo refusing to buckle to the "do you wanna be in our gang" mentality preferring instead to go off on their musical expedition.'

- Losing Today


'A good mix of rocking out and perky poppy melody. * * * *'

- Venue


'A charming band with an immense amount of potential and some great songs. These guys have big plans.'

- Reverb Magazine


'This band has got a huge future; it's only a matter of time before someone discovers how fantastic they are.'

- BBC Radio, Bristol Uncovered


'Good, righteous rock'

- Fierce Panda Records


'One thing is certain; this rock trio is going places, likely straight to the top of the charts.'

- Robert Benson, iLike2Rock.net

'Tentatively, Chris informs Tipler of having once consulted a sound engineer who would prefer that the vocal part in question was sang rather than screamed.

'He's a fucking tosser.''

That sounds frighteningly familier! At least I like your new tracks, though, nice work!
