Zadkiel are a three piece Alternative Rock/Indie band from Nottingham. They reformed early in 2007 after several different incarnations, They have produced 2 stunning Eps - Inverted Heaven and The Ethereal Fear, Fronted by singer songwriter Dan Heathcote, Zadkiel have been described as Nirvana meets Jeff Buckley. Hauntingly beautiful vocals and dystopian harmonies. Darkly euphoric, apocalyptic, cryptic and sensual. Blissed out alternative rock that mines the weird territory of H.R Giger and harnesses the vivid power of William Blake's spiritual symbolism.

The Silver Tongues play psychedelic Soul. Psychedelic. That's head music. Music for getting out of your box to. Blowing your mind to. Soul. That's dancing feet music. Music for getting your groove on to. Buzz-saw guitars, swirling Hammond & fat-back drums are where it's at. The Silver Tongues are funky like Jimi Hendrix's Band Of Gypsy's were funky, even how Led Zep were funky when they wanted to be...we're talking about godzilla-heavy grooves, spaced-out, sky-kissin' rock 'n' roll nailed to the floorboards by a rhythm section who don't give a damn about a thing but rattling your skull & moving your feet. This is how bands used to do it, when drum & bass meant Ringo & Macca, when every member of a band was indispensable.
