Biography

"I've got a star I can call my own and you'll never break me..."

...and with such a telling statement of intent, bauer come floating into view from the North of England, clutching an already fully formed collection of skyscraping, compulsive melodies.

Following on from the initial spurt of high profile support slots (Snow Patrol, The Ordinary Boys, Stephen Fretwell etc.) and Radio 1 exposure courtesy of one Alan Mcgee, the band entered the studio, with top name producer Steve Power at the helm to set at work on the debut bauer e.p. ( "We went in not knowing what to expect, it can be incredibly daunting walking into a place like Townhouse Studios, but Steve instantly put us at ease and we walked out knowing that as a band we had absolute faith in each other..." - Mikey)

What has resulted from these sessions is a cut of 4 songs that showcase many sides to the same band... from the epic, searing Guitar/Synth pop genius of tracks such as "Don't you move" and "Gone" through to the angular, bass pulsating edginess of "Indian sign". The lead track on the e.p, "Connected" is also classic bauer, condensing everything that is good about the band into a neat nugget of 4 minutes.. .and with vocalist Greg Matthews the band have a secret weapon - a singer with a truly distinctive voice.

The e.p is a glorious culmination of Bauer's short time together. Sometimes shimmering, sometimes wistful... always memorable.

Bauer are on their way... make the connection.
