About us


This week...

They're on Xfm! Big thanks to the man with a plan, John Kennedy - don't for get to VOTE!


Last week...

OLYMPIAN FALL sold out The 100CLUB! The band hosted their own night and called it "MS Calling" - it was essentially to raise money and awareness of Multiple Sclerosis and all proceeds went direct to the MS Society. Big thanks to all who came, all who played (Nizlopi, Brendan Lynch) and everyone who got involved on the night!


The band...

In today’s disposable and impatient world there is a tendency to want everything ‘now’. Whether it’s food, fashion or music, people just haven’t the time to wait. However, OLYMPIAN FALL have chosen the ‘old school’ route and are doing their own thing, in their own way.

“Gloriously epic…”
Clint Boon, XFM (2008)
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hailing from Wigan and Liverpool this dynamic 4-piece have recently been in a London studio writing & recording material for their new album. They're new single, "Long, Long Time" is out now & is available on 7" limited edition vinyl or digital download that's packed with cutting Hammond, soaring choruses and a Northern groove.


----------------------------------------------------------------
"Punchy, with a sense of purpose... Olympian Fall could be huge, conquer stadiums and world hunger. Working their untimely sounds into fine tuned melodies good enough too sing too and certainly bop too. A great choice for 2008!”
Tabatha Capaldi, BMI (2008)
----------------------------------------------------------------


They were recently picked up by Baxter Dury (Ian Dury's son) who did a remix for them. It's all about the music but it was their shear commitment in their playing that attracted producer, Calum MacColl and engineer, Phill Brown (Rolling Stones, Marley) to the band who both have been demoing tracks.


----------------------------------------------------------------
"Their sounds are so indelibly epic in stature, haunting, ethereal, measured and equipped with a knowingness more becoming of a group of musical veterans that they literally blow you away. ’Long, Long Time’ is mark my words - a stunning debut release!"
Mark Barton, LOSING TODAY (2008)
