Member Since10/11/2005
Band Websitewintermuteband.co.uk/
Band MembersDan Howard - Guitar and Vocals
David Hemmings - Guitar and Vocals
Chris Newbould - Bass
Ben Johnson - Drums
Sounds Like"...punchy and pop-infected, akin to The Futureheads poising notes at sharper angles. Ditch the doubts at the door: expect to be impressed."
Rock Sound

"...the whole thing's held together by some of the jerkiest guitar work this side of a Jade Tree compilation."
www.drownedinsound.com

"A curious combo of At The Drive-In and Interpol, splashed with a bit of Foals-ian mathletics, tight and adventurous, Wintermute are cool."
www.NME.com

"Their sound is an intoxicating and audaciously fully-formed blend of stop-start rhythms, intricate, harmonising guitar work and half-shouted vocals."
Yorkshire Post

"...smart as a button in a nerd rock style and stomping out some very precise, upright indie pop.... Morphic pop in motion."
Sandman Magazine

"...a bright, driving set of superbly well-rehearsed songs packed with nimble staccato riffs and power-surging bass lines."
www.whisperinandhollerin.com

"With some bands you can hear them straining to find the right sound... but Wintermute have the ideas and, importantly, the ability to put their ideas into practice."
Vibrations Magazine

"...steeped in intensity and emotion... a well of talent and creativity that points to a bright future."
www.highvoltage.org.uk

"The band excel in churning out atmospheric indie rock with a pinch of pop and punk attitude that propels them away from the mass population of new British bands."
www.dailydischord.com


"Jagged guitar slices fuse with sweet but plaintive lead lines around tightly-wound rhythms...with urgent vocals over a stop-start rhythm and ripping guitars - their explosive precision-punch energy was there for all to enjoy."

CNM 004: WINTERMUTE- 'GAMBLING OR PLAYING CARDS?/ ASK A STUPID QUESTION'

Debut single from Leeds' math/pop wonders available to download and on ltd edition clear 7" vinyl. Undoubtedly, the sex.

Press...

"Jerking recklessly with stuttering sparks that will instantly have toes tapping uncontrollably along, ‘Gambling Or Playing Cards?’ bristles with enough euphoric yelps and enthusiastic calls to have dance floors brimming in seconds."
RoomThirteen.com

"With a couple more thumbs-up standalones like this they’re sure to be tickling the fancies of alternative playlist compilers the nation over before long."
DrownedInSound.com

"There are suggestions here that they are more than capable of adding a little X factor to their already worthy sound. We like this."
Organart.com, Issue 231

"Two tracks here that amply furnish a very ownable piece of vinyl and successfully whet the appetite for taking in the band's fine live performance."
WhisperinAndHollerin.com

Available to download from Tunetribe.com. £0.79 per track.

Hello!

We were played on BBC Intorducing with Tom Robinson yesterday on BBC6 Radio.

Tom played our song 'The Sea' and had this to say about it...

"A record like that.. if it got pushed around by the right record label and pluggers and influential people at the NME told us it was alright to like it, it would be all over the 6music playlist like a rash."

You can listen again at this link here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/b0089jhs/Monday/console/

It's 12 minutes in.

See you in the new year!

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.

This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!

It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm

As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust
