BACKGROUND
Hailing from Manchester, EARL just about pull off an all-girl band. The
four-piece have a fresh and unique sound, which has been described as
‘electro-dance with a punk edge’. They plan to release a single mid 2004 on
Manchester's Fat Northerner Records and accompany it with a small tour of the
UK.

Last autumn EARL played the Musicworks conference in Glasgow for the official
Fat Northerner Records event and will be supporting The Kills at Manchester
Academy for 'Lamacq In The City' in summer 2004. This follows their sell-out
show at In The City 2003, which received rave reviews.

To date, EARL have been placed in the top 3 records of the year on the XFM
Unsigned show. They have played live shows all over the UK and have had
continual support from Oceansize, Denise Johnson, Aziz Ibrahim, Elbow’s Guy
Garvey and veterans of the Manchester music scene including Terry Christian,
Derek Ryder and Clint Boon…
