With influences ranging from The Beatles to Red Hot Chilli Peppers, from The Rolling Stones to Ludovico Einaudi, each set list and live show from this band is always an eclectic mix of music. They cite themselves as sounding like The Pogues shaken up with a bit of Oasis, with a side of The Velvet Underground!

Formed in 2021 and having released a string of singles to date to include ‘Millenial Me’  and ‘Capital’, in 2021 ‘No One Said’, ‘I Who Never Turned Back’, ‘Everything As Easy’, ‘Roundabout Ruse’ and ‘Silhouette Of Me’ in 2022 and the 2023 releases of ‘Nothing Matters’ (April), ‘Wonderfully Human’ (May) and ‘Nothing New Under The Sun’ (June), the band are now gearing up for their fourth single release of the year the poignant, delicate offering in dedication to the late great Amy Winehouse simply named ‘Amy’.

‘Amy’ is a song about love and loss, unrequited feelings and regret. The title refers to Amy Winehouse and the beauty of her music whilst also detailing the story of a love that never reached its full potential..It’s a bouncy ballad packed with instruments from guitars and keys, to harmonica and mandolin that layer with the harmonious vocals and poignant lyrics making for a rich tapestry of sound. 

The track was written by the band in their formative months of first forming, with the track originally titled ‘Burning Holes’  and it is the first complete track that the band ever wrote.

‘Amy’ is the first song to be released from Albion’s forthcoming E.P, ‘The Rooms Where Songs are Made’ which is due for release on the 29th September 2023. 

‘Amy’ was recorded at The Libertines HQ The Albion Rooms in Margate and was mixed by award winning in -house sound engineer Jason Stafford and mastered by Graham Waller.
