"selfish lovers for stardom"

MEMBERS of an up and coming indie pop band from Warrington have attracted interest from two major record labels.

Selfish Lovers, a four-piece, will meet representatives from BRM Music and Animal Music, in London, this Saturday.

The band has been together for about eight months and lead singer and songwriter Amy Bielizina, aged 23, said: “We’ve had a really good response so far and we’re excited about what the future holds for us.”

The Beautiful South’s Paul Heaton has been mentoring the band, which is also made up of Martin Paul Raynor, aged 35, on drums, Phil Bond, aged 28, on lead guitar, and Stephen Packam, aged 30, on rhythm guitar.

Amy, a former Woolston Community High School pupil who went on to study classical music at Hope University, Liverpool, said her musical icon was Debbie Harry, from the band Blondie.

Amy added: “Our image might be based around Blondie but the sound is all ours. It’s music that’s easy going and energetic.”

The band has already performed in Manchester venues such as The Roadhouse and Night and Day cafe but cited Warrington’s The Blue Bell pub as a favourite haunt because of the friendly atmosphere and good acoustics.

And now a Selfish Lovers album is in the pipeline, which will feature strong synth sounds with a light-hearted pop twist.

The band’s songs, with titles such as Summer Song, Good Time Girl and Dancer, draw on everyday situations that Amy explained all people should be able to relate to.

Selfish Lovers rehearse at the Original Wire pub, on Orford Lane, three times a week and said they constantly develop and tweak their songs to keep them fresh.

Amy added: “We just want to get our foot in the door of the music industry, doing something that will make us happy.

“We’re all really good friends who work well together and really gel.” - Warrington guardian
