Fallen trees and Xrayhorse!

Fallen Trees - a band featuring Get Sorted staff - are represented by XRAYHORSE agency.

Xrayhorse are an 'independant live music and booking agents' booking and promoting shows in Sheffield, Leeds and London and Fallen Trees are on their books! Here's their XRAYHORSE profile

FALLEN TREES - Glenn Moss / Paul Littlewood / Dave Timmons

Influences: NEIL YOUNG / JOY DIVISION / HOWLIN’ WOLF /UNKLE /PORTISHEAD / RADIOHEAD 

‘Fallen Trees – super intense, bold rockers’ Sheffield Telegraph

‘A serious proposition, they smack of a sedentary New Order at times, voiced by a gruff Eddie Vedder….this bag of dramatic noise belongs at the top of a bill’ TOAST Magazine 

‘.. a sound constructed from the experimental influences of early 70’s super groups and fronted by Paul Littlewood whose voice seemed reminiscent of a latter-day Joe Cocker….Piles of demented keyboard playing, inexplicable sound effects, some cool but dazzling guitar solos all backed by sh*t kicking drums.’ The Sheffield Scenester 

'For me the band does have an incredible post-rock meets Pearl Jam aura. Some roaring guitar riffs give the mental image of Jimmy Page playing through Greenwood’s guitar rack, most rock bands shy away from the ‘frivolities’ of delay and crazy EQs but guitarist Paul Littlewood has nailed it. Glenn Moss, on an array of analog synths, helps to create something dirty and perfectly dissonant. And that is the key to the group’s music, all of the epic and complex sound design of a band like This Will Destroy You, or Vessels, but with the driving nature of a pissed-off Seattle grunge band. It works perfectly, and incredibly they’re not from Seattle. Completing the line-up, by the way, is Dave Timmons, who does deserve a name check as his drumming helps cement this as a great album for all alt rock fans.' Rich Beech, Electric Ghost Agent
