Armed with a growing bunch of songs and a healthy desire to avoid compromise at all costs, they spent much of the last year in their own studio writing and recording a host of songs to release throughout 2008. The quartet hailing from Chichester are currently arranging a summer tour. They will soon be back on the road performing new material to their ever increasing audience.
In the past Footsteps and voices have toured with such bands as; Echo and the Bunnymen, Simian and Cardiacs; as well as playing support slots with N*E*R*D, Ash, The Charlatans, The Sneaker Pimps, Echo Belly, Robert Plant..... the list goes on.

-Running Jump Records-
Footsteps and Voices build 'Mr Savage' up quite quickly from sparse indie to symphonic rock with ever increasing echoes in the background and a relentless driving pace that keeps it all grounded. It's almost like it's been recorded in a church and the statues of the saints decided to contribute to the harmonies.
The twinkles of a metallaphone make a massive contribution to the heavenly sound and as things build up into bigger and bigger chorus lines, it's clear that the vocals are incredibly important to this band.
You'd be hard pressed to find another song that can tug the heartstrings quite this much just using the music and when you start to get into the 'all or nothing' lyrics, it's enough to bring tears to your eyes - in a very manly way, of course.
It's emotional, but it's not EMO - perhaps it's the start of indie-mo?
