I love this band, This was the best album released in 2010, in my opinion of course!
Verve, Six by Seven,Ride and Doves are references but actually don't come close, the album is out on good friends Club AC 30 records
EXIT CALM
Nicky Smith (vocals)~ Rob Marshall (guitars) ~Simon Lindley (bass) ~ Scott Pemberton (drums).
Exit Calm - four young men who have dedicated their lives to their music and the results are what people have been waiting for, This is the start of something truly beautiful, and at last we have a band to believe in.

Two years of committed touring has built up a dedicated and adoring following, mesmerised by the monumental, rousing sound of the South Yorkshire four piece. Coming from the Northern school of integrity and determination, their hard work ethic means they’re now reaping dues through their debut album, which is sure to be one of the debut's of the year, "Exit Calm", produced by Paddy Byrne (Unkle, The Hours) and renowned mixer and remixer, Ulrich Schnauss.
The all-consuming intensity of this collection of 11 epic songs would scare most guitar bands to death. Its ambition and scope is breathtaking. They have huge textured atmospheric guitars, amazing grooves and an inspired and enigmatic singer who evokes a maelstrom of emotion from even the simplest melodies.
While Elbow, Spiritualized, Massive Attack, DJ Shadow and in particular Doves are influences, these bands were only important in bringing the four musicians together. Exit Calm are on their own journey and the result is a band which sounds like no other.
“We’ve never been part of any scene we just did it behind closed doors. We’re a guitar band poured into dance music,” says Simon. “We’re reclaiming euphoria from all the shit dance acts out there. Doves are as close to Northern Soul as you’re going to get these days and we relate more to them than any other band.”
