Eyeplug<\/strong> recently caught up with one of the great English bands who deserve to be part of all of your musical lives more so now than ever, here are The Fallen Leaves…<\/strong><\/p>\n

01 How did you get started?<\/h3>\n

Rob Symmons and I have been close friends since the early Punk days. We wrote a bunch of songs together after Rob was booted out of The Subway Sect in 1978. But in 2004, when we decided to revisit them, what actually happened is that we wrote a whole load of new ones. These songs demanded to be performed, so Rob and I put a group together, initially\u00a0of old friends. We played a lot of shows, but it really came together when Gareth Evans and a crazy Swiss drummer joined. It was this line up that recorded the first album, It’s Too Late Now,<\/em> on our own Parliament Records label. Most of our releases have been self-released, but we are happy to put things out on other labels when asked. To date we have released four studio albums on CD, four vinyl singles, a compilation on vinyl and CD, and a live vinyl album. A new album and single will be recorded very soon. Our current line up, with Gareth back on bass and ex-Chords drummer Buddy Ascott, is the definitive Fallen Leaves line up.<\/p>\n
