Gaoler's Daughter

Gaoler's Daughter

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 boy's debut EP 'The Only Way To Travel' was released at the end of November 09', followed by an exclusive launch party at London’s Pure Groove, several sold out shows in and around London and support dates around the UK on a Babyshambles mini tour. Their already popular second EP 'Alchemy' was released on June 6th. The band continue to work hard on enhancing their handsome live reputation with a mini-tour around the UK and several festival dates.
