About Panchiko
Website | Facebook | Instagram | Bandcamp | YouTube | Spotify
Panchiko is beginning to settle into rockstar life. It’s different from how the UK band imagined it when they were teens, crafting ethereal, at times cosmic bits of heart-forward rock music to little outside interest, playing shows to nearly empty rooms. They set aside their hopes of becoming full-time musicians and pursued other careers. Their high school artistry became a distant memory. But that all changed in 2016 when an internet user discovered Panchiko’s discarded 2000 demo CD, "D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L," in a Nottingham charity shop and posted it to 4chan to intrigue and fanfare. It took four years for Panchiko’s legions of dedicated fans to find the people behind the music, but when they did, Panchiko’s long let-go-of dreams became an imperative to pursue. Millions of curious listeners were swaying to their adolescent creations; it was time for them to meet their moment.
Panchiko — which reformed in 2021 with original members Andy Wright (keyboardist and producer), Owain Davies (vocalist and guitarist), and Shaun Ferreday (bassist) alongside new members Robert Harris (guitarist) and John Schofield (drummer) — pursued their new path with vigor. Upon discovering their own virality in 2020, they toured the world and wrote, recorded, and released their first album in 20+ years, 2023’s "Failed At Maths." But after the thrill of the whirlwind came a new question. What comes next when your dreams come true? The answer is "Ginkgo," a 13-track project that finds the band making some of their most introspective, cinematic, and moving music yet.
About Alison's Halo
Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Bandcamp | YouTube | Spotify
Alison’s Halo was formed in Tempe, Arizona during the fall of 1992 by Catherine Cooper (Vocals/Guitar), Adam Cooper (Guitar/Vocals), David Rogers (Bass/Vocals) and Roger Brogan (Drums/Percussion). Within months of formation the band burst onto the local scene and immediately began securing shows with national and international acts (The Verve, Ultra Vivid Scene, Curve, The Boo Radleys, Stereophonics, Medicine, Lovesliescrushing, Bailter Space and many others) as well as being invited to perform at numerous music festivals around the country.
The "Dozen/Calendar" single was released by the legendary Independent Project Records in 1995 to wonderful national reviews and extensive college radio airplay. The single’s beautiful blend of chiming guitar noise and Catherine’s breathtaking melodies perked many an ear and led to the band loading up the van and heading out for a successful string of tour dates around the country.
Their debut full-length, "Eyedazzler," was recorded to various 2, 4, & 8 porta-studio cassettes from 1992-1996 and released on Detroit’s Burnt Hair Records in 1998. This stunning collection of songs has only grown in popularity since its original release and has been ranked among the top shoegaze and dreampop records from the golden eras of both genres.
