Eastern Lane were an English indie band from Berwick-upon-Tweed, comprising members Derek Meins (vocals/guitar), Andrew Lawton (guitar), Stuart Newlands (bass) and Danny Ferguson (drums). Their name was taken from a street in their hometown, the road sign for which was one of many apparently stolen by the band.
The band released two albums: Shades of Black in 2003 and The Article in 2005. Both albums are on the Rough Trade record label.
Their song 'Feed Your Addiction' is currently featured in an HSBC advertisement.
As of late 2006 the band has broken up with Derek currently pursuing a solo career. According to a posting on the band's myspace site, the split was down to the fact they have been unable to release any new material "due to circumstances with labels and money etc." Although the current situation suggests otherwise, the possibility of reunion in the future has not been entirely ruled out.
