Introducing The Bishops...
Heralding from London, the band consist of twin brothers Mike Bishop (vocals, guitar) Pete Bishop (vocals, bass), younger brother Alex Bishop (vocals, guitar) and Scotsman Chris McConville (drums). The band recorded their self-titled debut album 'The Bishops' at the infamous Toe Rag Studios, produced by creative analogue genius Liam Watson. This was released internationally in 2007 and followed up with their second album 'For Now' in 2009. 'For Now' was recorded at Bark Studios in London with indie veteran Brian O'Shaughnessy. Last year the band celebrated their 500th gig at the historic 100 club in London. Not being ones shy of the road, they have released their albums and toured internationally all across Europe, Russia and Japan.
Recently the band have changed from being a three piece to a four piece lineup, welcoming younger brother Alex Bishop into the band. They have just written and recorded a brand new EP 'Sojourn' which will be released later this year on the 8th November. The EP marks a departure from their prominent garage/beat sound of their first two records into a more contemporary and alternative direction.
