WATCHING PLANES

​

Watching Planes are influenced by the melodic side of British indie, bringing a Sixties vibe with a Britpop twist as well as classic pop & rock influences. The band have amassed a huge back catalogue of songs: an eclectic bag of irresistibly melodic tunes with rich vocal harmony, tasteful arrangements and insightful lyrics.

With their modern-day 'White Album', Watching Planes have caught the attention of many industry pros, including veteran producer Stuart Epps (Elton John, Led Zeppelin, George Harrison, Oasis, Robbie Williams) who have drawn parallels with the likes of Paul McCartney, Squeeze and Crowded House.

UNDER THE COVERS

​

The term “Supergroup” is much maligned, and with good reason, as most of them are rubbish. Under the Covers are no exception. Five blokes who discovered a common interest in cover songs requiring as few chords as possible, they retain their “raw” sound largely by not rehearsing. Steely Dan they ain’t.
