Standing On Giants Genre Indie/ Rock/Pop Members Simon Briley - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar Ant Grant - Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals Alex Gettinby - Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals Daryl Crowley - Drums Manager Victoria Stuart

The vivacious band, Standing on Giants first leapt onto the stage back in February '09. The four members of the rock/indie/pop band are currently climbing the roots of the music scene which has seen them perform alongside acts such as Bloc Party, The Holloways, Kid Harpoon, Kid British, Underground Heroes and The Crookes. In the summer of 2010, Standing On Giants released their debut 3 track EP ...‘No A Medias’, with Alex Gettinby producing it before he came into the fold as a fully fledged member of the band in January 2011. Standing on Giants released their debut single "The Signs" in August 2011 to very warm critical acclaim, followed by the 4 track EP it featured on, a month later. It was recorded at Alex's studio, but mixed and mastered with the help of Angus Wallace (The Prodigy, The Fall, Ian Brown) @ Far Heath Studios, Northamptonshire. The Soundcasters Members Simon Watson Tom Webzell Scott Russell Matt Gibson The Soundcasters were formed in early 2008 through a mutual love of a variety of music ranging from Latin Jazz, to 70’s Punk. As young lads, this gave them a unique edge in today’s music scene of teenage bands and with such a wide knowledge of music it took a short while to find their original sound. Their first EP had a 60’s pop feel to it that had a huge response from a mixed audience which expanded their fan base. With their second EP, produced by local, respected musician Ben Jones, The Soundcasters have returned with a more mature image, feel and sound. The Soundcasters are influenced by such bands as The Beatles, The Band, The Animals and newer bands like The Arctic Monkeys, which is where they developed their 60’s Indie style from.
