About Me

"Charlottefield offer a nice line in cerebral massaging with hot needles for fingers..."
- www.losingtoday.com
"...impressive arrangements of the harsh and the beautiful..."
- www.angryape.com
"...and they pulled off such an escape of everything you'd expect from a support band to The Go! Team..."
- www.bigyawn.net
"But… Jesus! Can’t you see? They’re… they’re MONSTERS... They ain’t respectable human beings!"

If you would like to book the band please contact Jon at Ooosh Tours . For bookings in France please contact Vincent at Murailles : muraillesjunior(at)gmail(dot)com.
There's some live mp3s and videos up on the website in the media bit.
There's also ziz on YouTube including the 'eleventh day' video that Rhys made, some studio spraf , the video for 'clipper' by Katerina Athanasopoulou, 'one one oh' from the Manchester academy gig, 'wrong on purpose' at King Tut's in Glasgow, Sarah's 'snakes' vid and her total fucking racket one and a french 'firewood' . Yes.
Walker did the artwork for everything except the Noisestar 12", Cove split 7", Picture Diary 7" and comps. James Dennett played bass on the Cove split 7" and Picture Diary 7" and on the tracks featured on the Un17 and Twominutemen compilations. You can get a t-shirt designed by Walker from the band or from here .

Band Members: Adam Hansford: guitar
Ashley Marlowe: drum kit
Chris Butler: bass
Thomas House: vocals and guitar
Jon Wood: booking
Sounds Like: "The Charlottefield Sound is blood raw and primitive ugly/beautiful like kissing someone with a smashed mouth. It’s also out there, abstracted and vaguely sci-fi horror, a ghost story from the moon."
- Anon, Smoking Beagle

"Chainsaw-motored guitars sound wondrously evil and paranoid atmospherics dwell like the bruised purple of a gloriously overcast dusk. As the rhythms change and judder, the band flex to their own foreboding frequencies..."
- Jonathan Falcone, Plan B

"By turns life-affirmingly aggressive, doomy, ballsy, and brazenly punk in an utterly real way, Brighton’s Charlottefield are as raw and naked as it gets; a stripped visceral mess that’s brilliant live. Great, tight drumming, classy basslines, and vicious up-tempo guitar work augmented by insane vocals..."
- Stuart Turnbull, BBC Collective
