Biography

The beginnings of Circlesound weren’t exactly your most conventional of meetings. Singer Dave Lloyd and Drummer Bernie McCarthy happened to be on a river raft, dressed as spacemen, throwing cow shit at each other.

Bernie, and guitarist Luke, persuaded Dave to help them form a band that would define a generation. The jigsaw was finally completed with the enlisting of Chris on bass.

The band have drawn from a myriad of influences and are proud of the fact that no one has quite pinned down their sound yet.

Manchester’s City Life magazine say “guitars jangle with the intelligent restraint of Johnny Marr” whilst others have used 80’s legend, The Cult, as their chosen reference. Or, as Evolve Magazine put it, “They will bring hope to the masses; hope with their lyrics; their raucous, infectious, polished sound; their FUCKING AWESOME musical ambiguity!”

Touring various venues all over the UK and having the misfortune to support Reef on their 2003 tour Indigo (Channel 4) would later say "how they (reef) coped after such excellence is a mystery"

"We strive to better every song we do with the next one. If you leave our gig gasping for more, then we've achieved our goal", says singer Dave Lloyd.

Circlesound are currently building an enviable reputation in their adopted home town of Manchester. Recently playlisted by local new music champion, Terry Christian, Circlesound have also been touted as the UK’s best unsigned act by The Storm 97.6fm. “The best guitar band in the last 3 years” they say “Circlesound are going to be massive”.

As well as winning Xfm’s X-posure un-signed, the band have also recently been asked to feature on the forthcoming free CD with UV Magazine. With a distribution of over 30,000, its looks as though Circlesound won’t be staying Britains best kept secret much longer.

The final word goes to irlondon.co.uk "A Band with a suitcase full of melodies, a satchel full of tunes and a headful of quality lyrics, they truly deserve to be signed right now dammit!"
