About Me


Stanley are…
“Catchy, stylish, fruit sorbet, country-tinged indie.” (Bull & Gate, Kentish Town)
“A completely disarming mix of country-indie-pop.” (AllInLondon.co.uk)
“Fresh, perfect pop in the best sense of the word.” (Tony Moore - The Bedford, Balham)
“Americana-flavoured ensemble who join the dots linking Gene Autry and Pixies.” (The Windmill, Brixton)
“Up-and-coming country-indie band, catch them before everyone else does.” (Daily Candy)
Hazel sings and plays piano, Michael plays acoustic and sings a bit, Alan plays the bass, Olly’s the drummer and Matthew twangs around on the other guitar. They got together in spring 2007 and have since been playing the music halls of London – The Windmill Brixton, The Water Rats, The Bull & Gate, The Boogaloo, Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, The Betsy Trotwood, The Bedford in Balham, The Big Chill, Barfly and the like. Their debut 5-song EP is available at gigs.
