Within a year of their first gig, The Rock Of Travolta had played in front of 45,000 people whilst supporting Radiohead at their immense South Park gig, having been invited personally by Yorke and Co. TROT have played four UK headline tours, recorded a John Peel session and released two EPs plus an album – all of which were met with critical acclaim. Following all this and a significant line up change, the band took on a new approach to writing and entered a self-imposed exile, taking time to ensure that the new record did justice to their vision. Fine Lines establishes a new era for The Rock Of Travolta and again the band are receiving critical acclaim. link
Ex Libras’ influences are as varied as their music. The boys share a love of hip‐hop, orchestral music, electronic music, funk, jazz ‐ “alternative music with groove” say the band. Ex Libras know no boundaries. Live, the band performs with a passion that will make your heart skip a beat; audiences are quickly captivated with the band’s melodic finesse that remains unparalleled amongst their piers.
Ex Libras are a band with creative longevity and exciting prospects ahead. Their musical horizons are matched by their sheer passion and soul, which is evident from every single beautifully arranged track on their album “Cut(s)” and every live performance they play. Ex Libras are a band not to be ignored, never to be missed. link
With varied backgrounds, Secret Cinema Band's music is both moving and hard to define. The band collectively writes its music and use unusual instruments, commonly replacing a bass with a fx'd electrical violin and using old electronic toys. This unusual approach has led to comparisons with Pink Floyd, Radiohead, TV On The Radio and The Mars Volta. link
