Folk Bands and Artists
Under a Banner
Acclaimed Midlands-based hard rock folk band “Under A Banner“ released their third album, The Wild Places, to much
critical acclaim last September, the first album after being signed to Bad Elephant Music.
Incorporating a heady blend of influences from across the musical spectrum, Under A Banner combine intelligent
composition with Adam Broadhurst’s coruscating lyrics, producing a hard, uncompromising sound with powerful injections
of raw emotion.
The band now embark on a 20+ date tour across the UK through the Spring and Summer playing alongside Headsticks,
The Leylines and Ferocious Dog among others.
Their previous releases have received considerable acclaim: their 2014 album Close to the Clouds was described by
Liverpool Sound and Vision as “an album of great maturity and depth”, and Midland Mosh praised their “great vocals,
talented musicians, and a nice unique style”. Under a Banner’s fourth official release, the EP Victory Time, was awarded a
fivestar
review and the coveted accolade of EP of the Month by Ryan’s Gig Guide, and its tracks have had considerable
airplay on local radio stations.
The Wild Places raises the bar even higher, with a much bigger sound stage, produced by Alistair Jamieson at Park
Studios in Birmingham, and mastered by Jon Astley, who has worked with The Who, Peter Gabriel, The Rolling Stones an
many others.
Be sure to catch them on the road in 2017.
