Feels Like July

With previous successful releases from both singer songwriters, their alternating roots of England and France crossed paths in Bristol where they exchanged effortless writing, familiar melodies and vocals so warm that they melt into one.

The Idle Silence
Formed in 2018, The Idle Silence is a band of indie/alt-rock/grunge lovers from across the county of Somerset. With both James Haldane & Phil Russell on vocals and guitar, Martyn Edwards on drums and Jay Parr on bass, the band are capable of both sweet vocal harmonies and shouted chants, nicely sculpted guitar lines and discordant noise – all on top of a pounding and supple rhythm section. Sometimes this full gamut of sound is run within a single three minute song.
