50Hz

London-based band 50Hz formed in 2001, and released their first single on Shifty Disco Records, Armchair Army, later that year. Over the subsequent years they have steadily built a loyal following, and have been championed by Steve Lamacq on Radio One. Eight 50Hz songs feature on Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor¹s massively popular motorcyle documentary Long Way Round.

In the summer of 2005 they were taken on by producer Ian Grimble, and began recording their debut album. Guitarist Andy Gott had been suffering for some time with serious back problems, and felt that he would be unable to continue with the band after the recording. Over the subsequent year, 50Hz worked on the album with Andy and auditioned dozens of potential replacements. In September 2006, the album was finally complete, and 50Hz had added new guitarist, Dan Cochrane, to its line-up.
