The Morning Side

About Me


The Morning Side were formed under the arches of a South London Underground station in 2007. Sharing a love of guitar pop and electronic music, the band quickly developed their own sound.
It took less than a year for The Morning Side to gain Industry recognition, by performing to a growing following at esteemed venues such as 93 Feet East, Islington Bar Academy, The Clapham Grand, The 100 Club and The Metro Club. Familiar faces and Music Industry folk have been casting their eyes over the band's recent shows. At their recent sell-out show at The Halfmoon, Putney, locals Simon Le Bon and daughter Amber were seen nodding approvingly. Music fans and Industry insiders have made comparisons to recent breakthrough acts White Lies and Friendly Fires, aswell as the more established Coldplay and The Killers.
After the band were nominated for a 2008 Indy Music Award, interest from Industry players was forthcoming. Having been courted by several indie labels, The Morning Side agreed a deal with the Shameless Music Group at the end of 2008.
The band are currently working on their debut album with producer Jez Larder (Amy MacDonald), due for release in 2009 and are preparing to take their impressive live act all over the UK.
And so it begins...
