Online & Offline PR 2010 / 2011
Victory Pill are ex-Prodigy and Pitchshifter guitarist, Jim Davies and producer Pete Crossman. Following on from their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Victory Pill’ their second offering ‘Digital Divide’ brings to the fore their powerful brand of post industrial electronic rock aimed squarely for a generation of danceheads. It's sort of like if Underworld and Nine Inch Nails got it together one particularly boozed filled evening and produced a ceremonious love child, Victory Pill would be the result. ‘Digital Divide’ is a collection of lush songs filled with rich tonal pallets and anthemic choruses. Released in May, it's a joy from start to end and Leyline are pleased to be covering all offline and online press.

LOSERS
Online & Offline PR 2010 / 2011
Legendary DJ Eddy Temple Morris and ex Cooper Temple Clause Tom Bellamy’s musical dealings in the form of ’Losers’ unleashed their debut album ‘Beautiful Losers’ to widespread critical acclaim (Mixmag’s Album Of The Month’) last year. After the incredible audio/visual feast that was lead single ‘Flush’, with vocals courtesy of Riz MC & Envy and amazing accompanying video (which can be seen here), the boys have been igniting dance floors wherever they’ve played. Leyline are more than chuffed to be working with these hugely talented artists and are already looking forward to a follow up due this year.

NAIVE NEW BEATERS
National PR 2010 / 2011
Naïve New Beaters are a witty, provocative Paris-based three-piece whose unique take on electro-pop combine rapid-fire rap, compelling beats, and tongue-in-cheek showmanship with a natural unabashed joie de vivre. Leyline have been working with the band on their well received debut album ‘Wallace’ via Kitchenware in October 2010. Their videos are stunning pieces of art direction and well worth checking! The band are currently working on their next album which is due for release this summer 2011.

HEDONIACS
Online & Offline PR 2011
Leyline are hugely excited about the prospect of working with Hedoniacs. In our opinion the band is a breath of fresh air, a welcome return to uncompromising and expressive rock 'n’ roll. We believe the current generation of music fans are bored of bands trying to be too clever with a ‘sound of the moment’ and in the process not producing charismatic lead singers able to ‘take it on’. Not so in the case of Lewis, frontman of the Hedoniacs. He has huge stage presence, an arrogance born out of confidence with well crafted songs and a fantastic band to back it up. The potential is huge because the songwriting is so good. Their debut single 'Can't Tie Me Down’ was released April 4th.
