Biography:
Akoustik Anarkhy founder The Observa was intrigued by the appearance of two foot soldiers from a southern land armed with guitars and rainbow-coloured sticks of rock. So who's in the band? he asked the first. It's just Sam and me Rowan replied. That night, with their identity established, the pair begun their assault and they haven't looked back since.
"From a small seed, great things can grow."
Towards the end of last year the band took a break from playing live to recruit the four new members required to make the music they'd always wanted to. The philosophy remains the same - write beautiful songs and take them onto the live circuit, whilst creating frequency-filling soundscapes in the studio.

Now based in the Capital, the band have gigged regularly in London, Brighton and Manchester supporting the likes of Alfie, Art Brut, Lone Pigeon (Ex Beta Band), Nine Black Alps, The Kooks and Feist and more recently Liam Frost & The Slow Down Family, Spinto Band and The Longcut. They are one of the central bands of Manchester's Akoustik Anarkhy collective - releasing their music through the aA label - and have brought the infamous aA clubnight to London and Brighton which now runs a bi-monthly Saturday night at their local.
