Freeze the Atlantic

Freeze the Atlantic rose in the ashes of Uk alt-rock heavyweights Reuben and Hundred Factors. The Surrey-based quintet produced in 2008 by Andy Gilmour (electric guitar) of 100 Factors alongside Jon Pearce (bass) and Man Davis (drums) from Reuben following break up of their prior bands. They made a decision to bolster their audio with another guitarist and Gilmour recommended longtime friend Tom Stevens, previously of Archie & the Intuition. Pursuing rehearsals they started looking for a full-time vocalist — having experimented briefly with Cambridge vocalist Daniel Flay and Laruso frontman Liv Puente — plus they set up Northampton-based vocalist Chris Knott. While cementing their lineup, the music group handled a tour this year 2010 with Welsh clothing Attack! Assault! and crafted their gritty alt-rock audio. 2011 was a effective yr for the music group as they documented their debut EP Color by Amounts after putting your signature on to 3rd party label Alcopop! The melodic, pop-punk-influenced lead monitor “Waking Up” received airplay on significant U.K. r / c, including Xfm and BBC Radio 1. In the same yr they embarked on the tour with weighty rock trio Fighting with each other with Cable alongside a small number of their personal shows in the united states. By the end of the entire year they parted method with bassist Jon Pearce and drafted in his alternative Sean Shreeve. During 2012, the five-piece done their full-length debut Speakeasy. In accurate D.I.Con. fashion, the music group documented anywhere and just about everywhere they could before ultimately releasing the recording later that yr. Produced mainly by Gilmour and Davis, the recording featured some guest vocalists, such as for example Hundred Factors frontman Colin Doran, and Laruso’s Puente came back to lead on solitary “Volcanoes.”
