Bio
Eighth Wave are a British pop rock band from Wigan, Lancashire, England who originally formed in the Autumn of 2006 with a mutual appreciation for mainstream rock and a desire to put their mark on the world with their infectious pop/rock sound.
The band built their foundations performing through the northwest’s distinguished venues (Liverpool’s Cavern Club, Barfly’s, Academy’s etc) before landing their first major support in 2007. The band has since continued supporting major artists across the UK, most recently completing a sold out UK tour with Go:Audio in April 2009[1], which included a sold out gig at the O2 Academy Newcastle which holds 2,000 people.
2009 has also seen the band release their debut album, through record company Cohort Music via Universal Music Operations. Eighth Wave launched their album nationally in close association with HMV, whom hosted the official instore launch event in the band’s home town of Wigan. The album is also sold via all major online retailers in digital and CD format.
October 2009 saw Eighth Wave undertake their first UK headline tour, which proved a great success. Covering 8 cities in total, and notably drawing large audiences at prestigious venues including Newcastle’s 02 Academy 2, Manchester’s Club Academy and Londons’s 02 Academy 2 in Islington.
Eighth Wave are currently in the recording studio working on their next release which is due in Summer 2010.
