DRAKES ISLAND
Psychedelic Folk Indie Rock
OUR STORY
is a psychedelic folk band, based in the South West (UK). Their sound has been compared to artists such as A Blaze of Feather, Pink Floyd and Bears Den.
​
The birth of the band came from Plymouth staple Fergus Tanner, who sought out fellow local , now bassist Olly Parker. Then Jamie Yost, lead guitarist, pianist and co-composer, joined the band. Finally, Matthew Gordon Price, the singer/songwriter turned drummer.
This sporadic collection of musicians has since formed into a dynamic 4-piece, striving to experiment and produce new waves of music. Hinting at folky roots and existentially growing ambiance, the band has curated a sound that flows and drifts along the line of conformity in music.
​
2019 saw the band touring the South-West with an array of festivals such as Leopallooza, alongside a multitude of sold out shows including their debut EP launch for 'Only Passing Through' at The Barbican Theatre, Plymouth, UK.
In 2021 the band will be going back on the road, as well as taking to the studio to record their next EP which will dip and veer into different genres while still maintaining the sound of Drakes Island.
