theCOLOURS have built up a big following in the UK following the success of their debut EP "Aurora Borealis". This is what Oxford's Nightshift Magazine said about the EP:
" This month’s Band Most Likely to Sell Five Trillion CDs ... Emotive, anthemic indie rock with an almost military sense of purpose, aided by the singer’s strident falsetto on tracks like ‘In and Out’ and ‘January’. A high-pitched howl that holds its own against the stadium sized guitars. ‘Fallen Soldiers’ comes with echoes of Talk Talk, which is always a promising sign, while even the more traditional Americanised rock bluster of ‘Bad Light’ becomes irresistible with its angelic, synthesised backing vocals."
theCOLOURS' brilliant single Something New (b/w Over There and Sinking Ships) on Ready Sounds Records is available as a download from iTunes and other online stores. Or you can order it direct from www.readysounds.com and www.thecolours.co.uk
theCOLOURS are gigging extensively around the country and have played alongside many breaking bands such as Infadels, The Wombats, Ida Maria and Boy Kill Boy. The boys are working in the studio on their first album with several amazing new tracks now laid down ready for mixing and mastering.

theCOLOURS made it to the first ever Slice The Pie Showcase coming third out of 600 competing bands and artists. They are currently featured artists on www.sugarscape.com and www.ooizit.com and are in Edith Bowman's (BBC Radio 1) "Bedroom Bands" Hall of Fame - see www.edithbowman.com
In April American radio station KEDJ plugged Fallen Soldiers as their record of the week and Something New was featured in May on "GOLDIES GARAGE", Genya Ravan's US East and West Coast digital radio talent show - one of 12 bands selected from thousands!. Something New and Over There will also feature on the soundtrack of Rich Lee's new movie Ghosthunters.Con which will be premiered in London next year (check out www.myspace.com/ghosthunters.con for details).
This is what Matt Wong of Bad Ass Music Inc said of the "Something New" CD: "I have to say, I'm blown away. It's soooo good, hahahah. I love it."
