"Before The Storm"
18 tracks written and recorded before the band became The Storm Society. This download only album is available for the first time worldwide through iTunes, Amazon, Napster and most online music stores.
"Crashing drums, thunderous bass lines and wind tunnel guitars are pinned down by a booming baritone vocal delivery to create the bands epic and majestic sound.The Storm Society have only been together a few short months but have already caught the attention of a few names in the industry. Despite not being around long enough to even play live they have landed themselves management and a single / album deal with the seminal indie label Enraptured Records. Watch out, the storm is heading this way....."
Mark Barton - Losing Today)
The Storm Society, like so many other bands, was born from the dying embers of previous musical careers. Stuart Kemsley was inspired by a journalist's comments refering to his guitar sound as "a turbulent musical storm". It wasn't until Stuart moved back to his native Scotland from London that the concept of The Storm Society began to take shape. Feverishly writing new material, Kemsley sourced some of the best musical talent in Glasgow for his new project.
In 2007 the band released a single E.P "Miles Away" on the ultra cool hip indie label Enraptured Records. The critically acclaimed single has sold out and received airplay all over the world such as Germany, Australia, America and even Argentina. On the strength of this they secured a management deal with London based label Pure Delinquent run by Jack Trevillion and Julie Pratt. The dynamic duo of Jack and Jules have been in the music industry for a number of years and have worked with some of the biggest names in the music business such as David Bowie, Spiritualized and even Stevie Wonder! Jack also runs Enraptured Records who are due to release the band's second double A side 7" single "St John's Point" and "To The Lighthouse" to be followed by the band's debut album which they are currently mixing. Legendary producers Pat Collier (Primal Scream, Jesus & Mary Chain, The Wondersfuff) and the maverick Rich Haynes (Radiohead and Supergrass) have both produced tracks on the album.
The band are currently recording their debut album. Kemsley and co have been absent from giging due to recording commitments however, with the album almost complete they are planning a few local warm up gigs to prepare for a small UK tour to promote their second single and album both to be released on Enraptured Records.
