A previously unreleased track, recorded during the sessions for "Waiting For No One" but left off the final album for some reason. There's a mandolin on this track - we should do this more often!

Pictures On The Wall

From the album "New World Order", available direct from www.montymaggot.com.
This rousing barnstormer of a song proves that 1912 have the ability to produce perfectly-crafted short pop/rock songs, as well as the longer epics that they are better known for.

The Eagle

From the debut album "Waiting For No One", available direct from www.montymaggot.com.
For many people, this is the standout track on the album, establishing 1912's credentials as Progressive band. It was also featured in the Omenopus collaborative compilation album  "Allies & Clansmen", which introduced 1912's music to many new fans.

Please Take Me Away From Here

From the album "Elegy", available direct from www.montymaggot.com.
"Brick By Brick" is a sequence of tracks that appear throughout the album, establishing and varying a common melodic and rhythmic base. This is the final version to appear, and probably the best!
A simpler, heavier version of this song was created a few years later, and features on the 2017 "Live at Robannas" EP.

Track 3 from the album "Elegy" -  a musical evocation of a well-loved park, complete with sounds recorded whilst walking through Brueton Park.

Brueton Park

1912 are five musicians from around Birmingham, UK:

Gavin Saunders: guitar
Alex Theay: keyboard, guitar, vocals
Gary Sheridan: lead vocals, keyboard, guitar
Dave Sutheran: drums, vocals
John Pierpoint: bass, mandolin, bouzouki

The band enjoyed their first taste of fame when their song “Please Take Me Away From Here” was featured on the 2011 Monty Maggot Records sampler compilation CD “Allies & Clansmen”, generating some excellent reviews. Along with airplay on BBC Radio and a string of UK gigs in 2011, this sparked a considerable interest in the group, interest that exploded with the October 2011 release of debut album “Waiting For No One” .

The album is an enthralling mix of catchy radio-friendly rock songs and mighty epics. It has already attracted global sales - the US market in particular has really responded to the band, providing a high percentage of their sales - which has increased the buzz around the group, gaining them new fans and champions around the world. For instance, international video artist ‘Revival’ couldn’t resist making a video for the band, upon hearing the music.

1912’s reputation for intriguing lyrical stories wrapped in quality music is growing.

Their second album "Elegy" was released on September 1st 2013. Anticipation has risen since fans glimpsed a sample track that was featured on the 2012 Monty Maggot “Allies & Clansmen II” compilation.
Third album "New World Order" was released on 1st February 2016. 
The album reflects the progressive development of 1912’s music. The central elements of the band’s sound remain consistent beneath an evolution of melody and lyric that is broad and ambitious in scope. The album will impress established followers and draw new listeners to the band’s craft. Critics are already hailing the album as “stunning”.
The album reflects the deep-seated anxiety of the zeitgeist: exploring the themes of progress and change, the uncertainty of the future and nostalgia for an apparently more secure past. Each track holds an inherent power, and together they present a truly immersive listening experience. This is an album-length experience that is cohesive and involving. We know that it will change you. All aboard the New World Order!
New World Order offers a truly unique collaboration as part of the album package. Highly respected artists Omenopus have created a unique companion album, available in the same double-sleeve set.
The Hybrid Project is a dazzling reworking of 1912 tracks from across their career, brought together with imaginative vision by Omenopus's main applicator Lee Potts. The Hybrid Project blends the ribbons of 1912’s music into a new and thought-provoking tapestry: a future dystopian struggle for survival, with unsettling echoes of the present.
The music offers a radically different approach to 1912, an approach in line with the consistently shifting rhythms of Omenopus. It will impress followers of both acts.
This is a completely original, exclusive Omenopus release, unavailable in any other format.
