A singer of songs,
A writer of many tracks,
Some dreams, dreamt across.

After forming as a duo in late 2013 and hitting the music scene in the UK in early 2014, the newly expanded 4-piece Rock/Pop/Indie band "Ginger Tom" have been taking audiences by storm.

Their melodic, harmony-driven songs are strong and concise from the outset, and having been touring as a 4 piece for less than a year have already supported ‘The South’, ‘Go West’, and prog legends ‘Marillion’ at their 2015 convention.

"As soon as I heard their first song, I thought, Brilliant ! At last, a proper band, great vocals, well crafted songs and some great musicianship"

- Stuart Epps, 2014

"When I first listened to Ginger Tom it was because it's my job to do so. 6 Months on, I now listen to them because it is my pleasure to do so. I don't just play their tracks on my radio show, I play them on my car stereo on the school run - because there is no better way to start the day than singing along to "7 Years"

- Christian Carlisle - BBC Introducing, 2014


We're Monica da Silva & Chad Alger, also known as Complicated Animals. We're a Brazilian-American duo based in California. Our music crosses styles, and we call our genre Indie Nova. Our EP In This Game features songs in English and Portuguese. Pop Matters called it "a 6 song masterpiece", and "the beginning of a new sound" 

Our songs have been featured in the movie Lady Bird, in a campaign for Tory Burch, in the Netflix movie The Last Summer, and in a Patron Tequila ad. The video for our cover of Times Like These by Foo Fighters, just got an Honorable Mention in the 2024 WideScreen Film & Music Festival.

Our new single Watcher (out on 08/09/2024), is inspired by our love for crime dramas and Nordic noir TV, and poses a question to humanity - are we ready to act on what we believe?

Here's more about it...

“I'd been thinking about there being two sides to everything, two opposing forces. Good and evil,” says singer Monica da Silva. “They are two sides of the same coin, but I want to imagine that good will prevail. That it's the more powerful force.”

Watcher started with a simple piano line that da Silva would play every time she would sit down at the piano. Producer and musician Chad Alger added drums and programming that swirl around the thematic, swelling melody, and seem almost woven into the plot, and entwined in the lyrics.

“We wanted the song to take on its own life”, says Alger. “Almost as if it were breathing on its own".

All Ears Avow are an infectious pop-rock outfit from Wiltshire consisting of Claire Sutton on lead vocals and guitar, Jake Willcock on guitar, Joe Bishop on Bass and Sean Ivens on drums. The band relentlessly tour around the UK, creating an unforgettable live performance and gaining a loyal fanbase across the country. Reaping the rewards of their consistent dedication which is shown in the superb feedback they have received for their December 2018 release ‘Skin & Bones’ EP, including huge praise from the likes of Kerrang! Magazine, Rock Sound, Punktastic, HMV, Stencil Magazine and a whole host of other well renowned names. The year that followed saw them storm 2000 Trees Festival, Camden Rocks and more.

2020 saw them forced to knuckle down into the writing zone thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a string of releases showcasing their best work to date. All Ears Avow are really stepping into their groove of infectious pop melodies, big riffs and hooks for days while showing off a DIY ethic that displays the pure passion that these 4 friends have for their music and fans.
