TIME TROPHIES
WRISTWATCH EP RELEASED on ALCOPOP! 19th March

“There are some pretty famous bands from Oxford, right? This quartet look set to join that list of alumni”- Rock Sound

Formed in early 2010, Alcopop! Records newest signings are Gunning For Tamar (Joe Wallis (lead vox/guitar), Dan Pollard (guitar/keyboards/vox), D’Arcy King (drums) and Ben Green (bass) – who release their debut EP on the label on March 19th. Available on a strictly limited edition orange wristwatch release, this one is set to introduce the world to Oxford’s newest exports.

Already confirmed as Ones to Watch in Rocksound for 2012, they have a forthcoming UK tour with Kerrang and RS favourites Jumping Ships in March and a European tour set for early summer, it's all been strong sailing thus far. With recent hits playlisted on Scuzz TV and NME TV, as well as being added to NME.com, they've been featured on XFM & BBC 6 Music, Canadian & New Zealand radio and have performed a BBC Introducing session. The band previously picked up the Breakthrough Track Of The Week through NME for 'The Organs...', their first single.

Two full summer tours & a successful first tour away from home soil in Germany, as well as supporting bands such as Tellison, Johnny Foreigner Maybeshewill, Paper Route, Ungdomskulen & Sound of Guns signals a busy, year already for this young band. They also played a packed out BBC Introducing night in the Oxford Academy back in May & a host of festivals including Truck Festival, Ley Lines Festival & Guilfest last year.

” Tight and technically proficient but also intuitive enough to keep things sounding organic 4/5″ -Artrocker

“„Never dumbed down or afraid of challenge, each track blends verve and curiosity to great effect…the band are clearly in love with the music they make and when you listen to this EP it‟s only natural that the affection spreads 8/10″ - Rock Sound
