I Dream in Colour + Said the Whale @ SOYO

I Dream in Colour @ SOYO... This is a free show!

THE SINGLE // I Dream In Colour release their new single London (b-side Waiting Line) in May 2012. Released through Euphonios as a digital download, London sees the band develop a new, more mature sound. The classic song-writing structures and heartfelt lyrics have seen comparisons drawn to the likes of Coldplay and The Verve. With their stadium sized choruses they are not trying to reinvent the wheel, just trying to make really good indie/pop classics that will stand the test of time, and this is exactly what it is. Previous reviews have thrown up words such as life affirming, strong, soaring, beautiful and gritty which is exactly what they achieve with their debut single. I Dream In Colour have recently announced a tour to support their new single. The band have sold out their last 3 London shows in Barfly, Bull & Gate and Cargo so make sure and get a ticket.

THE BAND // Musically, I Dream In Colour are inspired by the intricate rhythms of Led Zeppelin, the energy of Talking Heads, and the song writing skills of Radiohead. And it seems that it isn’t just musically that they take inspiration from their peers as Richard (vocals/guitar) explains “I always knew Radiohead got their name from a Talking Heads song. When I was looking for a name for our band I took their advice and looked to a hero. I picked up the Beatles anthology and turned straight to the page of John Lennon. The first line I read was ‘When I dream, I dream in colour…’ And that was that.” I Dream In Colour have earned a fierce following back in Essex, where they have spent the last year writing, gigging and spreading their word. This has not gone unnoticed elsewhere: with press, blogs, radio and top producers all singing their praises.

THE CONSENSUS //

"With bludgeoning beats, intricate guitar lines and soaring choruses, I Dream In Colour are a peerless live act. Add to this a vocalist in Richard Judge, whose near-operatic tones can channel messieurs Bellamy and Buckley, and you have a truly special band on your hands.” Evening Standard

“A brooding small masterwork in whopping guitar music that reaches for the sky and pulls clouds apart. Maybe there’s life in the epic-indie-rock beast still.”
Breaking More Waves

"With a vocal as towering as city metropolis, as British as Moz and gritty like real life. Front man Richard Judge is a star built in a rock n roll mould."
The Fly

"This band have something very special."
Chris Kimsey (Rolling Stones Producer)

"It's beautiful indie rock music and it's the first British Indie band that I've been really taken in by for a long time, it's more than The Verve and Oasis by far; they have a modern twist that I love."
