intro video and browse what's available. Once you have pledged you will get
access to more exclusive content, tour blogs and streams of other tracks from
the album.
If the name might seem familiar it
is because Toseland are a band fronted by double world superbike champion James
Toseland. Throughout his career as a motorbike racer, music has been central to
James life – so much so that he performed live at BBC’s Sports Personality Of
the Year. When James was forced to retire through injury a journey into music
started…
James met up with Toby Jepson
(Little Angels) in March 2012 after a friend had recommended they might work
well together. Jepson had no idea of James’ past but they clicked - personally
and musically. James had the bones of several songs and an idea of the sound he
wanted – one of the first tracks to emerge being album track Kingdoms (which
James had been playing with for a while).
The writing process was quick and
the pair soon laid down instrumentation at Vale Studios with Jepson producing
(credits include The Answer, Saxon and The Virgin Marys) and Steve Harris (Foo
Fighters, U2) as engineer. James plays all the piano on the album – including
forthcoming single “Renegade”. Vocals were recorded in five days at Jepson’s
studio in Scarborough.
