RIK SIKES (vocals/guitar)DANEA STOUGH (bass /vocals)FORD WAIGHT (drums)United by a desire to create dark, intelligent, dirty rock music and beautiful ballads, AQUILA formed in the Midlands in late 2004. They self released 'The Devil In Me' EP through their own mini-label, LODESTAR RECORDS, in February 2005. Currently the band hunt a distribution deal for their self financed and self released debut album, "No More Your Lover". To prove they are nice guys and salve several wicked consciences, AQUILA make regular performances for charitable causes, notably Make Poverty History, Fair Trade and Control Arms. AQUILA are playing throughout the U.K. to promote the album and free mp3 download campaign. "NO MORE YOUR LOVER makes me want to 'phone up all my ex-lovers and tell them I hate them. It also makes me want to say that I still love them with every ounce of my heart. How can this be so? AQUILA are the modern-day troubadour/poets/outcasts that defy being pigeon-holed. Emo anyone? Grunge? Blues-folk? Pretty boys or snarling, dirty, tattooed outsiders who sneer: "we're independent artists". AQUILA should be credited for making NO MORE YOUR LOVER their own way. This is the most refreshing album I've heard in ages. I wonder how long before the major-label wolves come sniffing at their door?"Isabella Lopez, UK MUSIC JOURNAL"Melodically heartfelt and sensual music."SILVER: Indie Culture Shop"NO MORE YOUR LOVER is the album equivalent of being smashed to pieces in a late-night hit-and-run car crash, and then tenderly put back together again by the most beautiful nurses. Thought you'd let go of all that bitterness? Not so; NO MORE YOUR LOVER will wrench the demons and angels from your very heart. The soundtrack to all that is twisted, dark and perfect in love. A stunning debut."H.R Reddings, PLANET WRECKAGE"The STREET LEGAL ALIENS E.P. is a toughie to pin down. I'm getting plenty of Bad-Seedy drama, hints of both Buckleys, grunge, Latino blues, Pixies-style surf-punk, wall-of-sound atmospherics and sensual intimacy. There's guilt, heartbreak, some venomously anti-PC lyricism and an (un)healthy dollop of lust and mystery in the big city. All this from a Birmingham three-piece who sneeringly dub themselves 'independant artists'. Still, a major label deal can't be far away..." NEWSQUEST"This will appeal to a lot of you. The void you are feeling right now, whatever it is and whatever its for, AQUILA should fill it" SALVO"Beautifully wrought songs of love and despair" THE HERALD"Hugely dark romantic rock & roll... beautiful, ultra melodic and powerful, AQUILA stand out like the star their name suggests" BBCi"AQUILA nail sleaze to nagging melody like Rufus Wainwright fronting Nirvana... they sound like they could write the ultimate break-up album" OVERPLAY"Wild, unhinged, visionary rock & roll... hits the crowd like a belfryful of angry bats" THE FLYFor more information go to: www.aquilalovesyou.com
