Introducing… The Frisbys
Twins Helen (vocals, flute) and Nicola Frisby (vocals, acoustic guitar) have been singing and playing music together since they were old enough to speak. Having performed as a duo for many years honing their incredible vocal harmonies, it took a boredom call from a broken-legged Marc Robinson (piano, guitar) to convince them to start a full band. The three were joined by Sam Keer (acoustic/electric/slide guitar), and later, Will Cattermole (bass) and Tom Finigan (drums). They have been producing haunting and emotive music as The Frisbys ever since.
Their double A-side single Born and Raised/Give in to the Dark - the first to be released from EP The Cause (released January 29th 2016) - gives a glimpse of what is to come from this band on the rise. They describe Born and Raised as “light hearted and upbeat...almost a countrified version of 'No Scrubs' by TLC” and Give in to the Dark as a hopeful song about supporting a loved one through dark times.
The band have premiered Give in to the Dark as a free download via Folk Radio but you can also listen to it below or on the ABoF Soundcloud page

Having received past support from Ruth Barnes, Gary Crowley and Kathryn Tickell on Amazing Radio, Mark Forrest on BBC Radio, Team Rock Radio, and For Folk’s Sake the band already boast an impressive collection of fans. This is already being built upon, with Born and Raised having recently been featured as Track of The Day on Sarah Gorrell’s Drive Time Show on BBC Sussex.
Born and Raised/Give in to the Dark is out on November 27th 2015 via Dantobaccus Records.
