Bio....
All Mankind, originally from Sydney but always on the go, have just released their debut full-length album 'Simple Desire'. The album was recorded with Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight, Foals) in Liverpool, England.
The band chose to record the album using traditional techniques including recording to tape, using vintage analogue gear, recording 'live' as a band, and relying on performance rather than technology. As a result, some of the songs were recorded in only a few takes.
Previous All Mankind EPs found their way onto radio stations across the globe (Indie 103.1FM Los Angeles, WRXP New York, MotorFM Germany, KNRK-FM Portland, OR, ABC Radio Australia) while also gaining fans such as Mike Walsh, Music Director at the famed Xfm (UK). A number of tracks also featured in prime time US television shows. "Open Your Eyes" was featured as the theme song in the TV promo for Emmy Award-winning ABC TV show "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution." In addition, their tune "Hollywood Tonight" has been heard regularly on MTV's "The Hills."
'Break the Spell' , the first single from the band’s debut album ‘Simple Desire’ has also been featured on the EA Games FIFA 12 soundtrack.
England's Record of the Day states, "All Mankind has the sound of being Australia's next biggest export."
US-based blogger Arjanwrites (CNN) says, "With 'Break the Spell,' this Sydney quartet delivers a grand, emotive sound."
Meanwhile, Australian radio personality (and former Xfm UK DJ) Byron Cooke from Australia's Austereo (MMM, 2DAYFM) adds, "These guys are legit. They mean what they sing. The songs are huge and the album is deep with radio singles. Expect them everywhere, sooner than you think!"
All Mankind have captured early spins on tastemaker radio and tv stations on three continents including Australia (ABC, Channel V, MTV, RAGE, Nova, 2Dayfm, FOX, B105, SAFM, 929 Perth, MMM), USA (KROQ L.A., KNRK Portland OR, KTCL Denver, WCNR Charlottesville VA, plus CHMA, KCRW, KFMA, KPNT, KTCV, WEQX, WNRN, WXPN), UK (BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 2, XFM, QRadio, Absolute), Europe (MotorFM, Flux FM, Delta Radio Germany), as well as stations in South America and Asia.
