These Reigning Days first received acclaim supporting Mercury darlings Metronomy and have rapidly gained a reputation as a powerful and impressive live act. They are currently being championed by BBC Introducing which has led to National BBC Radio airplay. As a result of a barnstorming performance in LA at Musexpo recently, they have significant label, publishing and sync interest and have been booked to play the main stage at Polish Woodstock in front of 500,000 people.
Their music has been described as anthemic, epic stadium rock, fusing layers of strong but understated guitar lines with a twisting, indie-pop synth sound quietly driving the compositions. Drawing on a great range of influences their songs, penned by Dan Steer, are memorable, danceable and instantly accessible whilst still retaining much depth for those who want to glean more from their music. Dan’s stunning vocals and soaring guitar are underpinned with a pulsing rhythm section from drum phenomenon Joe Sansome and formidable bassist Jonny Finnis.
In the last year they have released two singles which have had regional, National and International airplay and the videos were listed on Q TV. They have recorded a phenomenal album with producer Yoad Nevo (Goldfrapp, Duran Duran, Sugababes, Pet Shop Boys) which will be released later this year. Their cinematic sound lends itself well to synchronisation and a track has just appeared in a major feature film starring Vanessa Redgrave and Christopher Ecclestone.
This Summer they have a full festival diary including headlining The Rabbit Hole stage at Glastonbury.
In the last year they have had several high profile support slots and have just returned from a tour of The Alps with The Feeling playing The Momentum Ski Festival and Liverpool Sound City and last Summer they played the main stage at a number of festivals and were selected to headline the new music stage at the Matthew St Festival in Liverpool as a result of blowing everyone away at The Cavern in Liverpool.
These Reigning Days are sponsored by Manson Guitars, Music Man/Ernie Ball and Yamaha
