Influences

Sounds Like"... winning plaudits everywhere from the Mancs to the Yanks."- Martin Bates XFM Scotland

“…smashes its way into your heart with a wall to wall bluster of guitars…band with an exciting future.” – Jon Ashley ManchesterMusic.co.uk

“…a rousing bout of choppy, hooklined strongly fuzzed indie rock akin to something like The Enemy but refreshingly less polished. Excellent.” – ITC Demo Review Panel

“Post-punk with an energetic twist and a knack for a melody. Theirs is a sound which is trying to resolve the conflict between the obscure and the commercial, and it's a musical tightrope they tread well.” - Heather Crumley ScotCampus

“…this band is fast becoming the talk of the town.” – Black Spring

“It’s perhaps fair to say that the first two bands could learn a lot form the fusiliers… Each individual in the band carried a great deal of confidence, which is only right for a band as able as they are. The crowd - quite rightly - received the band with great applause. Undoubtedly destined for better things.” - bluesbunny.co.uk

   About The Fusiliers
The Fusiliers are a 5 piece outfit based in Edinburgh, Scotland and formed in April 2007. The Fusiliers are ‘Brutal Pop’

After a storming main stage set at Spectrum Festival, Queen's Hall in Edinburgh to launch their debut EP ‘We Are The Fusiliers’ they have

• performed a live acoustic session on Leith FM
• were Your Sound Featured Artists
• voted XFM Uploaded Weekly Winners
• appeared on Independent Uncovered radio show Fairfax Virginia

The EP is available exclusively on download through iTunes, Napster and amazonmp3.com

So what have we been up to?

We launched our Debut EP at Spectrum Festival with a main stage slot at the Queens Hall in Edinburgh. The band went down a storm and we managed to sell a ton of EPs.

The fact we're one of the first bands in the UK to start selling their music via Drop Cards has generated a lot of interest not only with the people we meet but also the press including The Scotsman on Friday 25th of April.

"While CD sales might be in decline, Edinburgh band The Fusiliers (www.wearethe fusiliers.co.uk) report that their debut EP, We Are The Fusiliers, has been selling rather well on the new drop card format. About the size of a credit card, it carries information, including track listings, art work and all the other stuff normally found on record or CD sleeves. It also has a code, which allows the buyer to download the songs."

The cards are great. They allow us to keep the EP exclusively on download but still have a physical product to sell at gigs etc.

On the 27th of April we were featured on JP's radio show "The Sunday Service" on Leith FM. There was chat, there was tunes and there was 3 acoustic numbers we played live in the studio. If you missed it, have no fear as a recording of the whole show will be up on our MySpace and facebook shortly along with the acoustic tracks separately. We do a really nice cover as well but I'll not spoil it for you and let you find out what it is for yourself. To quote JP "...that quite literally brought a tear to my eye. Look that’s an actual tear"

On the 4th of May The Fusiliers were featured artists at the Your Sound event at King Tuts. Check out the site here http://www.kingtuts.co.uk/yoursound/. Every month King Tuts holds a music industry event for unsigned acts to give them a chance to meet A&R, Press etc and build up some contacts. Every month King Tuts and DF Concerts staff picks the best from Scotland’s unsigned music scene and use their music as the sound track for the day. They very kindly selected us.

XFM picked us and two other acts, for their Music: Response show hosted my Martin Bate, to be put up for the public vote. Thank you everyone who voted for us as it paid off. We are now XFM Uploaded Music: Response weekly winners. That’s it for now.
Y'all come back now

Hey boys,

Just been on Pivo Pivo's page and saw you were down for a gig on the 16th of November, was wondering when you guys would turn up there, I told Gary the band booking guy you were awesome a while back.
Will see you there, it's been too long! x

I’m in Stirling listening to you guys on WGMU in the USA talking from Edinburgh. You’re only 15 miles up the road from my house. It would have been much cheaper if you had just phoned me.

Thank you Gary for the add & the free song which totally was not neccessary, but much appreciated. I made Holding On my first song that loads on my music player, because I think it's that good. Cheers & loved your interview last night.
