Days
68 DAYS was formed by guitarist Ben Marvin and
Cambridge-based Phil Watts.
Ben decided to relocate from Perth, (the
Australian one) to Cambridge a couple of years ago, leaving behind sun, sand
and sea for hallowed portals of education. This might seem a drastic
relocation, but be reassured there was no higher reason in this than in the
time-honoured tradition of musicians; lust. Although this attraction quickly
faded, once in Cambridge Ben met vocalist and songwriter, Phil Watts.
Their musical tastes and influences collided and once virtually an
album's worth of co-written songs emerged, they brought on board a drummer and
a bass player Stuart and Midus and 68 DAYS was born.
68 Days now have
various tracks ready to record and will be entering the studio in the next
couple of weeks, to record their debut EP, which is due for release in
September.
No strangers to the live arena 68 DAYS immerse you with an
energy and passion. Phil Watts and Ben Marvin along with Midus - who has toured
with the likes of Mel C and Stuart who has played with many world class acts
call upon their collective stage experience to move mind and soul.
Their musicianship and songcraft has already caught the ear of Total
Rock Radio where Ben and Phil have guested, playing some of their tracks
acoustically to the delight of Total Rock.
The tracks draw on a wide
range of eclectic influences and their tracks go from rocking quirkiness to
subtle ballads.
So, get ready for razor-sharp vocals, pumping rhythms,
fat riffs and cutting edge guitar solos. Get ready for songwriting
sensibilities, unparalleled musicianship too rarely heard on these shores, get
ready for 68 DAYS.
