Once Upon a Dead Man is the sound of three brothers and an old friend making a foray into new territory together. 
It’s an excursion that’s been some time in the planning; brothers Edd, Charlie and Will Simpson had long talked about collaborating, but their respective careers (in Brigade, Busted, Fightstar, More Dangerous Animal, Union Sound Set and Charlie’s solo work) meant it was a few years before the project came to fruition. 
Along with long-time friend and collaborator Simon Britcliffe, the Simpson brothers are set to release Concepts and Phenomena, a deft blend of beautifully constructed vocal harmonies and washes of electronica. The band consciously stepped outside the traditional label structure to record the EP in their own time, with no predetermined musical direction, no defined roles within the band, and no commercial objective.  
Converging on Suffolk’s Old Jet studios from across the country, each member found themselves using more sequencing and synths than ever before during a series of relaxed sessions. The resulting recordings are the perfect product of a group of musicians who’ve known each other for decades, balancing bouncing beats and glacial soundscapes with plenty of fraternal warmth.
