   About Thousands of Reflections (Free Single Out Now!)

Thousands of Reflections, or ToR, are a four piece alternative rock band from Nottingham (UK). The first incarnation of the band came together in late 2005, self releasing some promising demos and garnering interest across the city with their live shows which lead to support slots with a number of high profile bands in 2006.

In 2007 ToR self-released their debut EP “Drones & Sharp Teeth” which met with excellent reviews, praising the band for their idiosyncratic and creative song writing and unique sound. Selling out of its original run in just over 2 months, “Drones and Sharp Teeth” sparked interest from several indie record labels, with the band eventually agreeing to a full scale remastered and re-packaged release of the EP on Huddersfield label Headroom Records in November 2008. A track from the EP was soon selected for the Area 4 Records compilation showcasing the best of Nottingham’s talent.

In mid 2008, the current line-up was settled with ToR founders Aidan Blenkinsopp (guitar/vox) and Adam Barnes (guitar/vox) poaching local hardman James Housley on drums and Simon Curd on bass/vox from probably defunct but possibly not completely and utterly defunct local heroes Dragonflies Draw Flame.

The 1st October 2009 saw the release of the double A-side single ‘Sawhooks and Chains’/‘Call Me Ishmael’. Recorded by Guy Elderfield (The Donnas, Six by Seven) at Random Recordings in Nottingham. The single is available for free in various high-quality formats through ToR’s bandcamp page and is also available from the iTunes store. A mini-album is currently in production and due for release in Spring 2010.

Praise for Sawhooks and Chains | Call Me Ishmael

"...has such a groove and is so melodic that you can’t help moving to it; a really appealing and addictive quality ...you get a seamless experience and the melodies at the core of each track are very different and distinctive ...chunky riffs, lovely vocal harmonies and the kind of guitar sound that makes you rock out trancelike, with your eyes shut. A great single from an obviously talented home grown band" Room Thirteen (Emma Gould).

"...just perfect for the current summer-to-autumn transition we're in the throes of...guitar rock at its finest, grabbing you at the first note" LeftLion issue 31 (Kristi Genovese)

"Awesome riffing gives way to angelic vocals, full of post-hardcore juxtapositions and some inspired melodies - give this Nottingham band your attention and you’ll be bowled over by their invention and potency!" subba-cultcha.com (Jeremy Chick)

"ToR have pedigree – and an intriguing approach to alt-rock. Sawhooks And Chains recalls Tool and the Smashing Pumpkins, and it's a thought-provoking melody. Call Me Ishmael is equally fluent, with tinges of indie and metal that demonstrates exceptional flair." Nottingham Evening Post (Matthew Smith)

Praise for Drones and Sharp Teeth: .

“With tonsil busting screeching and a big guitar crunch, this borders on the epic and showcases the obvious talent ToR have…” The Mag (Paul L).

“..[Second track] ‘All the East is Moving’ shows that the Nottingham band have a fine future ahead of them with their brand of indie, alt-rock and Metal” Rock Sound (Neil Daniels).

“..a really interesting three-tracker. full of good ideas….sprawling and brooding..Thousands of Reflections could well be onto something” Punktastic (Paul) .

“…spacious, grand enterprising rock, and fans of say, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Sunny Day Real Estate, Cave-In will lap this mother up” Tasty Fanzine (Chris Stanley).

“..a post rock gem...e.p of the month” Die Shellsuit Die (Daniel Quantrill).
