Butterflies On Strings are an indie rock band formed in 2008 in London, consisting of members Allan Harrod (vocals, guitar), Patrick Baker (guitar), Stephen Cunningham (bass) from Ireland and Hugh Fox (drums) from Scotland.

The energy and intensity of their live show has become a staple part of the London music scene as they continue to grow from strength to strength.

Although influenced by British classics such as The Beatles and Bowie, much of their inspiration at the moment comes from the other side of the Atlantic, in the form of bands like Death Cab For Cutie, the National, Modest Mouse and Okkervil River.

Their debut EP ‘What Did John Stuart Mill Say Again’ was produced by Peter Miles (The King Blues, Martin Grech) and was released on The Kaleidoscope Label early 2012.

Their latest EP ‘A Boy Named Crow’ was released on 7th September 2012.

The five tracks on 'A Boy Named Crow' were self-produced by Butterflies On Strings, engineered by Adam Lunn of Resident Studios, and mixed by Brendon Harding.

'A Boy Named Crow' marks a depth of maturity that has resulted from exploring the environs of the members suburban origin. Lyrics dissecting nostalgia, the transience of time and decay of memories and relationships are romantically explored through hard‐driving anthems, sparse pop and lush balladry.

The industry have been alert to the bands progression and Butterflies On Strings were recently featured as Gary Crowley’s ‘London Calling’ act for his London feature on his BBC Radio London show. The band were then featured on Gill Mills’ Best of MySpace show and were invited to play Danielle Perry and Kate Lawler’s Kerrang & Q Radio New Music night at 93 Feet East on Brick Lane.
