BIOGRAPHY

As you'd expect from a band made up of musicians that have helped forge the sound of London over the past 5 years, Gaoler's Daughter's sound is heavily rooted in the capital.

Despite the fact that this uber-collective features ex-members of Larrikin Love, Littl'ans, No Picasso and Letters From London, they sound unlike anything else you will have heard before. Their unique sound draws on a wide range of stylistic touchstones, whilst avoiding categorizations and comparisons.

Rowdy, stomping rhythms shift in an instant to beautiful, uplifting melodies, which are set against dark brooding harmonies. John Sterry's sensitive vocals stand in stark contrast to the often disturbing content of his lyrics. Alex Mahood's guitar, washed in reverb, cuts uplifting counter melodies into the driving, yet measured rhythms created by Alfie Ambrose and Ben Hutchinson.

The boys ended 2009 on a high, with their debut EP released at the end of November, followed by an exclusive launch party at London’s Pure Groove, a sold out celebratory gig at Camden’s Tommy Flynn’s, and support dates around the UK, on a Babyshambles mini tour.

With a second EP already recorded, and a series of warm up dates around the capital, the band will hit the road in the spring.
