Prince Edward Island :: 24/01/08:: 1845‘S ann aig deireadh 2005 a chaidh an còmhlan seo a chur air bhog ‘s gu ruige seo tha iad air barrachd cudthrom a chur air a bhith a’ sgrìobhadh òrain seach a bhith a dol air chuairt, ‘s iad a’ taghadh dìreach na cuirmean a tha iad fhèin a’ faighinn inntinneach, mar a bhith a toirt taic dha The Flaming Lips, còmhlan air a bheil iad gu math measail! Son còmhlan a tha cho tàlantach agus aig a bheil òrain cho tarraingeach bha e a’ cur iongnadh orm cluinntinn nach eil e a’ cur dragh orra mura nochd duine nuair a tha iad a’ cluich beò, cha b e sin an t-adhbhar a tha iad ga dhèanamh ach dhaibh fhèin, ma tha an ceòl aca a còrdadh ri cach, uill se buannachd a bharrachd a tha sin. Tha sinne den bheachd gum bi iarratas mòr ann son am faicinn ann an 2008 agus tha iad fhèin ag aitheanachadh ma dh’fhaoidte gu bheil an t-am ann an ath cheum a ghabhail. Mar sin tha iad dol a thoiseachadh ag obair air a’ chiad chlàr aca, bidh iad a’ cur air dòigh barrachd chuirmean agus tha iad cuideachd a’ sùileachadh ceàrnaidhean eile dhen t-saoghal fhaicinn ‘s iad an dòchas òran singilte a thoirt a mach anns na Stàitean Aonaichte agus Amerigea a Deas cuideachd!! Tha EP ri fhaighinn an drasda leis an tiotal “Lies To Tell Tourists” agus nuair a bhios iad ainmeil agus a cluich anns na tallaichean ‘s aig na fèisean as motha air an t-saoghal….dìreach cuimhnichibh far am faca sibh iad an toiseach...
Prince Edward Island were formed in late 2005 after realising that sharing each others' Chemikal Underground Records was not enough! Hailing from the nation's darkest fringes such as Fife and Ashington (exactly!), founder members and ex-workmates Darren Bruce, Faye Davies and Phil Pearce set about laying their dark, often very personal lyrics over the lightest melodies they could muster. They wrote about what they knew – of trawler-trash town love affairs, of being trapped in failing relationships, and of youth squandered.
They have recently been joined by new full-time members Nick Elleray on guitar, James Jackson on bass and Jon Hodges on drums who were recruited (stolen) from fellow bands on Myspace. Referencing their Scottish heroes, The Delgados, the Islanders are not afraid to wield a glockenspiel, melodica or even a stylophone in anger. Despite having a modicum of talent - they have been described as sounding like ‘a band playing with boxing gloves on' - their short existence hasn't stopped them garnering widespread interest including winning the Xfm Unsigned competition, air-play on British, American and...um...Brazilian radio. Their debut EP, Lies To Tell Tourists, has just been released on BabyBoom Records, and there are further single releases in the pipeline in the USA and South America . Up until now, the Islanders have chosen writing songs over touring, accepting to play gigs only if the offer is interesting enough to them. The recent recruitment of Nick, James and Jon will see a change in emphasis, however, as Prince Edward Islanders prepare for a busy year of gigs throughout 2008. The Islanders haven't read Anne of Green Gables and they have never been to Prince Edward Island.
