The Frisbys Biography
Fronted by twin sisters Helen and Nicola Frisby, The Frisbys, are an alternative folk band from South London. Their debut E.P ‘Philosolove’ was released in 2013 and met with much success, featuring as ‘new and noteworthy’ on ITunes, reaching 45 in the singer songwriter charts and receiving radio play from Amazing Radio, Team Rock and BBC Radio stations. The Frisbys have received wide support from blogs and press, with their title track ‘Philosolove’ being chosen for Fatea Magazine’s Showcase Sessions and For Folk’s Sake's song of the day feature. They have recently been featured in the 2014, 50th edition of PROG Magazine's Limelight feature. With the band drawing comparisons to Fleetwood Mac, First Aid Kit and The Staves, The Frisbys are quickly gaining a reputation on the folk circuit for their striking song writing and stirring harmonies. The past year has seen The Frisbys support artists including Mark Chadwick (The Levellers), Messenger and Eamonn Coyne and Kris Drever (LAU) in beautiful and established venues such as The Borderline,The Natural History Museum and St Pancras Old Church. The Frisbys' much anticipated follow up e.p 'The Cause' is due for release on 29/01/16 with the band releasing a new double a-side single 'Give in to the dark' / 'Born and Raised' on 27/11/15 via Dantobaccus Records. 'Their debut E.P Philosolove brings together the gorgeous folksy sensitivity of Fotheringay, the quirkiness of Fiona Apple and the storytelling of 70s singer-songwriters.' - Prog Rock Magazine ‘... moving, uplifting, and haunting... I was blown away’ – Thank Folk For That For fans of First Aid Kit, The Staves and Fleetwood Mac
