“The U.K.’s harmony-happy Dunwells dive into
American balladry with aching sincerity and melodic tics that recall Crowded
House’s soft side.”—New York Daily News
“Given how evocative their music—particularly their
harmonizing—is of the California folk and country-rock of Crosby, Stills, and
Nash.”—Boston Globe
“It’s clear this is a band with a bright future.”—American
Songwriter
“The best is yet to come for the Dunwells.”—Huffington
Post
British folk-rock five-piece The Dunwells’ debut
album Blind Sighted Faith is out today on Concord
Records/Playing In Traffic. Self-released earlier this year, the re-release
includes three new tracks, “Borrow Me, “Dance With Me” and “So
Beautiful“ produced by George Drakoulias (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, The
Black Crowes and The Jayhawks). Their video for the first single and
title track, “Blind Sighted Faith,” was recently added at CMT Pure, MTV and
VH1: http://on.mtv.com/PI49Fq.

The band will make their national television debut Friday, August 31, when they
perform on NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
In the midst of a 45-city U.S. tour the “must-see band” (NME)
who “bring to mind the vocal harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash” (AOL
Music) are winning fans with their amazing live performances throughout the
States and Europe. This year’s Lollapalooza was especially memorable.
“With their set on the BMI stage cancelled, the band serenaded a group of fans
on the Hilton’s lobby piano while the storm raged outside,” (Billboard.com) surviving
“Lollageddon,” as they coined it.
Comprised of brothers Joseph Dunwell (vocals, guitar) and
David Dunwell (guitar, piano, banjo) along with cousins Jonny Lamb (vocals,
drums) and Rob Clayton (bass) and longtime best mate Dave Hanson (guitar, pedal
steel), the band emerged from the pubs and clubs of their hometown, Leeds,
England.
Recorded at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio outside of
Austin with Grammy-winning producer and Roxy Music bassist John Porter (Bryan
Ferry, The Smiths, Ryan Adams), the 11-track album features stellar
musicianship, classic roots songwriting and soaring harmony vocals.
“It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life,
recording that album,” Joe Dunwell says. “A band of five guys from Leeds coming
to Austin, Texas, in Willie Nelson’s studio, to record their debut album: You
couldn’t write something like that. It was amazing.”
