The Dunwells Announce February CD Release

Fresh from a wealth of international heavyweight touring, The Dunwells have announced plans for their hugely anticipated second album, ‘Light Up The Sky’. Set for release February 26, 2016 and released via Concord Music Group,  the band worked with producers including Steve Harris (Kodaline), Dan McDougall (Aurora) and Manny Marroquin (Haim, Sia, Taylor Swift). Check out the brand new video for the single "Hey Now", below from Baker & Taylor.

Though there may only be two members with the same surname, but The Dunwells are very much a band of brothers consisting of two siblings Joe (vocals, guitar) and David Dunwell (vocal, piano, guitar) and their two close school friends, Rob Clayton (bass) and Adam Taylor (drums). Hailing from Leeds, the band formed in 2009, drawn together by a mutual love of bands such as Bon Iver, Elbow, and Damien Rice. Joe (lead vocals) had this to say about the album:





"This is an album full of heart felt lyrics and powerful melodies, it's an album of hope, struggles with everyday life, sadness, happiness, honesty, the desire for more. It’s about being a human being with the same emotions as everyone else.” says the band.

The Dunwells have produced a unique blend of electro-infused, honest indie music, layered over endearing instrumentals that could only have been crafted straight from the heart, their lust for something more, and an unbreakable bond between them and their two childhood friends.
