Formed just a year ago (formerly The Neat), the last twelve months have gone by in a bit of blur for the Hull quartet, whose punchy guitar hooks and pop-poem lyrics have already garnered love from Steve Lamacq, John Kennedy, NME Radar, as well as airplay on 6Music, XFM, Radio 1 and Amazing Radio for their infectious debut single ‘I Wanna Forget' produced by former Kaiser Chief Nick Hodgson.



Brothers Mez (lead vocals/guitar) and Mick (guitar/vocals) bring their self-confessed love of pop culture (everything from Steinbeck and Breaking Bad to Disneyland), DIY punk and the dirt of the city into their funny, frenetic, lovelorn, f**k-you word plays.



Whilst Loz (bass) brings the hot rhythm and Rich (drums) the relentless punk kick that you would expect from a man who can rip an apple clean in two.



All this mainlines into their furious live show, which can and should be witnessed on this upcoming tour.

Following a spring of behind the scenes activity - demoing for labels, recording and mixing some new tunes and bringing in a new band member, Storms are now in the process of self-releasing a series of three new songs.



The first was ‘Swell', the second, ‘Undress' and the third, later this year will be ‘Shame"



All of the releases will be accompanied by self directed videos.



Storms are George Runciman (vocals/guitar), Felix Howes (guitar), Yacob Andersen (bass).



Felix, having arrived in London from rural Northumberland aged 16, played in a number of bands before running into George (several times) at various London club venues.



The two hit it off and when they both found themselves unhappy with the band's they were in, decided to form their own.



Meanwhile Yacob had left his native Denmark and had arrived in darkest Wiltshire where he had been playing with three friends playing everything from Jazz to Folk and gaining not only a broad musical canvas on which to work, but becoming something of a multi-instrumentalist through necessity as much as anything.



He saw an ad in Gumtree. The ad was placed by George and Felix. Enter Yacob.



Having spent the early part of the year in preparation Storms now hope to spend the rest of the year promoting the ‘single series' they have planned and gigging as much as possible.
