Pop began for Fenech-Soler in Kings Cliffe, a village of a thousand people in the hinterlands of Northamptonshire. It all started with two brothers, Ben and Ross Duffy, who made music with their friend Daniel Soler. They wrote electronic tracks together on their laptops and synthesisers and aimed to write songs that would be club and festival anthems.
From here, they brought in another friend, Andrew Lindsay, adding live drums and synths to the mix. Taking Daniel’s family surname as inspiration (also the name of a Maltese patriot who ruled the Catalans in the 18th century) they knew it could mean anything and everything.
The band played tiny clubs and sets to build up their live reputations, sending tracks to radio stations, certain that their music would hit a nerve. Word spread like wildfire.
French DJ and remixer Alan Braxe, fell in love with them, and asked to release one of their songs. Groove Armada saw the band at a Warehouse party, adored what they were doing and took them on tour.
Fenech-Soler released debut album Demons on September 27th 2010 and received considerable positive critical appraisal in the UK and the USA. Their second single Demons will be released on February 7th.
