Fear Of Music (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fear Of Music are a four-piece indie/alternative band from Manchester, England. They formed in 2001 as a threesome consisting of Jo Rose (vocals/guitar), Ali Esmaail (bass) and Chris Stanley (drums). Mike Ward joined the band in 2003 as an additional guitarist after being introduced to the other two members by Rose.

They signed to Sony/BMG Records in 2005 and are managed by Nettwerk Management.

Their 2006 release, entitled Fast.Faster.Fastest. EP, was produced by acclaimed music producer John Leckie who has produced albums by Radiohead and The Stone Roses among other artists.

They are named after an LP by the band Talking Heads.

They are currently working on recordings with the producer of Placebo's Meds, Dimitri Tikovoi. They have put together a small EP and are beginning work on their debut album in February. Both of these recordings are scheduled to be released in 2007.
