[edit] History
South was formed in London in 1998 and was originally conceived as an electronic act. The band was mentored by ex-Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown. South later worked under the tutelage of UNKLE's James Lavelle, who signed the band to his personal record label.
After a promo album, 'Overused' released in the US, South released their first official studio album entitled From Here On In. The popular song "Paint The Silence" was featured on The OC and The O.C. Mix 1 leading to a bigger fanbase in the US.
Next came their second album With The Tides in 2003 which offered many popular songs such as 'Colours In Waves' and 'Loosen Your Hold' before the band had a couple years break.
'A Place In Displacement', the first single from their third full album, was released early in 2006, followed by the album Adventures In The Underground Journey To The Stars', which came out on April 3 2006. A UK release followed on October 9, 2006.
The fourth album, You Are Here (South album) was released in late April 2008. Joel had prviously revealed in a blog on their myspace page that there might be an upcoming album featuring remixes of songs from the With the Tides album by Ascher Nathan. A preview of the remix of 'Same Old Story' was played.
