Two New Tracks

WIN !  by The Supporters

The Supporters driving force is visionary Artist, Songwriter & Producer Colin Russell who gave us a World First with the fabulous leftfield  ”SIBENSIS” The Truth is Plain 2c, 2006 release, a dual disc release of a CD and DVD containing bespoke videos to every track. Something that remained unrivalled until the Chemical Brothers release of ‘Further’ in 2010 !

This time he’s created a super uplifting, more mainstream song by bringing together another eclectic group of musicians, with WIN ! by The Supporters

Lead Singer on this powerfully energetic song is Lynieve Austin who began with the band “Reach” (WEA) aka “Urban Speech”, and as backing singer she has had stage performances supporting such stars as Curtis Mayfield, The Fatback Band, Alexander O’Neil and ’M’ People.

On Electric Rhythm and Lead Guitar is Ian McKean a virtuoso player who was lead guitarist  with signed bands ’Balaam and The Angel’ (virgin) ‘Twenty Flight Rockers’ (Epic)  & ‘SIBENSIS’ (Pleasing) and continues to play lead Guitar with popular London Bands ‘The Runner Brothers’ and ‘Bones and The Aft’.

With eclectic festival musician Anthony Hatcher from ’The Original African Indianz’playing Flute and Didgeridoo, and renowned Jazz Characters Alex Bronske on Bass andRobert Ellis Hawke on Saxophone with an additional array of instrumentation and arrangement from Colin Russell, make this a real treat to listen to.

Elements of Arthur Lee’s band ‘LOVE’ are combined effortlessly with London cross culture which see strings, sitar and electro pop converge with standard popular music to bring a unique driving sound.

Colin Russell also has a ROCK OPERA, AUDIO / VISUAL extravaganza with 20 original songs currently in development;  This shows why he is one of the most interesting Song writing Artists around today, don’t take our word for it, listen, find out !
