We are The Albany Throws. A five piece folk based indie band hailing from Cheshire and have all been living in the mighty Manchester for seven years or so. We have been together now for a long while and have in our time been proud of our songwriting and write what we consider to be honest stories of our experiences and these times. Always up for a laugh, come and say hello at any of our gigs and you can buy us a pint as we are usually skint. Nice one.Oh yeh. We released our debut single under a small London based label. It got us to No. 4 in the charts up here in the North-west.Here’s the pitch........The single "I STILL REMEMBER/DOGS OF WAR" sees the band collaborate with legendary writer/producer PETE BROWN, author of a number of huge selling hits released by CREAM, including "Sunshine Of Your Love", "I Feel Free" and "White Room". Pete has also written hits for Belinda Carlisle and David Bowie and his songs feature in major film soundtracks such as "True Lies" and "Good-Fellas".
The Albany Throws have finished recording their new E.P. ’F.T.S.E’ recorded at the wonderful Blueprint Studios. They have in their time together built a solid loyal live following, selling out venues such as the Sugarmill in Stoke and the Roadhouse in Manchester.After a two years with the independant label ’East Street Records’ the Albany Throws have been working without representation for six months as the band felt the label lacked direction.
"I Still Remember" is a song inspired by ’The Band’ and reached No.4 in the regional charts creating a real buzz for the band. It is backed by a brilliant ballad "Dogs Of War" which reflects the attitudes of World leaders today. Incidentally Pete Brown is to use "Dogs Of War" as part of a film soundtrack he is currently writing.
