Early 2006 and five like minded souls in Portsmouth U.K. gather together to form what will henceforth be known as THE STRANGE DEATH OF LIBERAL ENGLAND. With a cumulative desire to make music that explores light and shade, beauty and ugliness, creation and destruction, the band take their cue from the Constellation Label, the more creative end of the current UK music scene and the ethos of pushing in all directions musically within the same set.
The band also take the interesting decision to share roles and not communicate verbally with the audience. This leads members switching instruments between songs and use slogan placards to highlight song titles and transmit messages to those watching.
NME decided they sounded like “Arcade Fire with tattoos” (which is a good thing) and UNCUT describe them as “God’s Own Orchestra” after ROB KIRWAN produced their debut album. The folk and hate of ‘Good Old Fashioned War’ sits next to the crescendos and fear of ‘I Saw Evil’. The band’s maritime location peeks through the nightmare sea shanty of ‘God Damn Broke and Broken Hearted’. As a body of work, the album is strident, innovative,unafraid.
Supported by the servicing of the single & video for “Oh Solitude” to radio & TV along with a plethora of POS including hundreds of posters, balloons, stickers etc… ask your rep for yours!
