Formed from the ashes of Dundee-based band Cagney, Dan Perris, Paul Bellamy and Brian Clark were joined by ex-Desert Rose guitarist Tommy Thornton to form fourteenhours. Heavily influenced by R.E.M and U2, the fourteenhours sound has been compared to the likes of Kings of Leon, The Jam, and The La’s.
In early 2008, the band documented their work with the recording of their self-financed demo album, “The Crossingâ€; a stirring collection of songs covering nautical endeavours to love (thankfully) lost. Showcasing the strong potential of the band, it has been enthusiastically received by their dedicated fans. Particular favourites include “Your Reasons (Don’t Change)â€, and the anthemic “She Criedâ€.
The demo album was launched to a near-capacity Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh, in May 2008, and was reported to be one of the venue’s busiest night’s for an unsigned band.
fourteenhours have built up a loyal fan base through regular appearances at the now defunct Baby Tiger nights in Edinburgh. Signed to Management Eclectic Therapy Music, the ‘hours are taking a bold step in search of new horizons.
