At 0150 GMT on December 1, 1975, every telephone in the world started to ring. A quarter of a billion people picked up their receivers, to listen for a few seconds with annoyance or perplexity. Those who had been awakened in the middle of the night assumed that some far-off friend was calling, over the satellite telephone network that had gone into service, with such a blaze of publicity, the day before. But there was no voice on the line; only a sound, which to many seemed like the roaring of the sea; to others, like the vibrations of harp strings in the wind. And there were many more, in that moment, who recalled a secret sound of childhood-the noise of blood pulsing through the veins, heard when a shell is cupped over the ear. Whatever it was, it lasted no more than twenty seconds. Then it was replaced by the dial tone. [email protected].

Music:

Member Since: 03/02/2008
Band Members: Gus Scott Chris Fish
Influences:
Sounds Like: "Oxford’s Dial F For Frankenstein are unsigned, but Christ knows how with all those hooks, thrashy runaway guitars and soaring vocals the fangirls are gonna be weak at the knees for. Music bred on Supergrass, Morrissey and ’90s grunge.” - Truck Festival

“Like Dive Dive’s sharp-elbowed precision-punk mixed up with Radiohead’s most rockingest outings, Dial F are full of subtlety and complexity but make a most pleasing racket.” - Nightshift Magazine

"... a cocksure burst of indie rock ..." - Oxfordbands.com
"Supergrass through a tunnel of grunge." - Quickfix Recordings
"...awesome ..." - Tim Bearder, BBC Oxford Introducing
"Brilliantly raw..." - Burning Legacy Promotions
"This drumming is a bit wayward, the guitars too fuzzy and the vocals sound a mess, production is poor and lyrics sound a bit posh...." - Slice The Pie

Record Label: nup
Type of Label: Unsigned
