Battalion of Flies

Formed by Craig Costello, Nord Idessane and Nick Tolley in 2003, when BBC Radio broadcast a live session of the band in 2004, then &#39;Evening Session&#39; DJ Vic Galloway described it as &#34;One of the most popular sessions that we have put out.&#34; When Martin Bate of Capital Radio central Scotland station, Beat 106, played &#39;Tumshie&#39; off the album <a href="spotify:album:2bMcJ2BUwrj7U33eWI48Kg" data-name="Blue Lips, Cold Kiss">Blue Lips, Cold Kiss</a>, its initial play attracted such a huge audience response that it became an instant contender for the shows &#34;Most Requested Playlist.&#34; Big Cheese magazine called them one of the UK&#39;s well kept secrets.


Across mainland Europe large sections of the rock press including German monthly, Metal Heart, gave the band glowing reviews. Since then the album became something of a rock underground secret. In UK rock monthly Rock Sound Magazine, Robert Adams described it as “One of the finest début albums I have heard for a very long time.” Terrorizer Magazine - &#34;A breath of fresh air to the UK scene.&#34; &#34;A well-crafted, cleverly constructed album” and at XFM, Ian Camfield said of “Blue Lips Cold Kiss”, “This is a very impressive début album.”


After a number of lineup changes and a hiatus spanning over a decade, Battalion Of Flies reformed in 2019 and immediately began writing new material. The subsequent EP &#34;In Dark Meadows... Chaos Reigns&#34; will be released on 26th February, 2021
