Firewoodisland release their enchanting new single Simon digitally on 10th November 2014. Legendary Abbey Road engineer Frank Arkwright mastered the track, which showcases the band’s ability to create a mesmerising atmosphere that escalates in to a rousing and uplifting mix of soft harmonies, marching beats and infectious melody.

Firewoodisland draw their influences from a number of sources, including artists such as Thomas Dybdahl and Bon Iver, alongside the traditional folk music of Wales and Norway. They describe their own organic sound as “Celtic Viking Music”.

During the sleepy autumn months of 2010, Viking descendant Stian Vedøy set sail in his longship from Haugesund, Norway, to embark on the shores of Cardiff, South Wales. New lands and legends soon inspired him to begin his journey in a solo project. With humble beginnings in Cardiff’s local club Koko Gorillaz, the music grew in popularity and sound to become a group of dedicated musicians who relish the chance to play together.

In the past twelve months they have toured across the UK and back to Norway, releasing their debut EP ‘ILD’ earlier in the year. In addition, the band were regional winners of Norway’s Bandwagon battle of the bands, were named Artist of the Week on BBC Radio Wales, have won Amazing Radio’s weekly Audition show and headlined the Richer Unsigned showcase in association with Q Magazine.

For a chance to see their charming and captivating artistry live, join Firewoodisland for their Club Fandango show at the Buffalo Bar in London on 11th November 2014.
