Pete Falloon is best known for his previous work with his brother Matt, as part of Brothers Falloon . The two built a solid reputation on the London music scene in the late 1990s, with their modern roots songwriting, brilliant harmonies and exciting performances.

Their first EP 'River of Love' found airplay throughout Europe and found fans as far away as South America and Australia. It also caught the attention of indie label Nesta Records , who asked the pair to contribute 'Break In The Weather' to their compilation CD The Songmakers Project Vol 1, which included songs from Bert Jansch and Billy Bragg. The 'Project saw the two brothers tour throughout the U.K. and further develop their energetic live performances.

Their second EP 'North Star', released in 2002, cemented the duos reputation as leading lights on the roots music scene and introduced the marvelous Paul Everest on drums. Brothers Falloon released their inspirational debut album 'Modern Harmonies' in 2004 on Nesta Records, aided again by Paul Everest and also bass maestro Alan Sugar.


Matt Palmer is a guitarist and songwriter for Brighton-based rock band ANEMO , which also features spectacular vocals from Hazelle Woodhurst and production wizadry from Kingsley Sage. In 2004 the band were signed to the New York independent label City Canyons Records .

The trio's debut album 'Slowburn' was released to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic and returned top 10 positions on U.S. College Radio. ANEMO have toured throughout the U.K., showcasing their songs in a simple acoustic format and also with the full seven-member rock band. Their live performances were recognised by the Classic Rock Society when they won 'Best Live Band' in 2006.

ANEMO's new single, the anthemic and thought-provoking 'Pray', was released in September 2007 and is based on an account BBC reporter John Simpson gave when his convoy came under U.S. friendly fire in Iraq. The second album - Stentorian - was released in October and features extensive contributions from the ANEMO live band.

Matt also plays guitar for the fantastic Exeter-based covers and function band LUSH
