26th April 2012 // 'TAKE COURAGE', THE AMERSHAM SESSIONS ep.1Last Sunday we filmed some of our favourite songs at the Amersham Arms in New Cross. We called it 'Take Courage - The Amersham Sessions' and we will release one episode a week.
We took the opportunity to record a semiacoustic version of our tunes and sometimes present slight variations from the EP and the live gigs: something we've been wanting to do for a long time! This week's episode features an alternative version of Love Has No Decay pt.1. Enjoy and watch this space for the next releases! F&B x 2nd March 2012 // 'BEWARE OF THE KNOWERS' VIDEO OUTWe finally got around to edit the video for 'Beware of the Knowers', it took a long time but it's here now!
Hope you enjoy it, we surely had fun making it! F&B x 9th Feb 2012 // EP AVAILABLE ON ITUNES
Great news folks! The EP is now available on iTunes, here.
You can still listen to it for free on our facebook profile and on youtube, so happy times! F&B x 7th Feb 2012 // NEW EP OUTRecordings were a success! Our newest single, 'Love Has No Decay pt. 1' is ready and waiting to be heard, along with 3 other new songs. We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we did writing and recording them.
You can download 'Love Has No Decay pt.1' for free from our Facebook page and the EP will soon be available on iTunes. Stay posted! F&B x 28th Nov 2011 // PURPLE TURTLE GIG
What rhymes with purple? turtle? Erm... Anyway! First big gig in London and we headlined the reputable camden venue, Purple Turtle. Fantastic night and thanks to everyone who came. Really great atmosphere and amazing response from the audience. We’ll be gracing London Town again very soon, we’ll keep you posted! F&B x

Exciting times down here in Francis & Boyd HQ, we’ve just launched our first EP! It hosts 3 of our most loved songs (Antigone, Dustbins & Daffodils and Lifejackets), all of which came from our folky hearts and to be honest, we’re very proud. Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it! F&B x

“Sweet folk-pop that really works, and only bettered by lyrics that stand as real poetry. This EP is the perfect example of an emotional rollercoaster.” Chiara Rimella, Outsiders Magazine, Turin ---------------------------------------------------- "Probably the most promising band to come out of Chichester in years, with superb instrumentation, intriguing lyrics and delightful melodies. Effective, charming and very current." Pete Lambrou, NiceWeatherForAirstrikes Records ---------------------------------------------------- "Absolutely beautiful lyrics; hypnotic and hearty folk. Definitely for fans of Bright Eyes and Mumford and Sons." Tina Edwards, BalconyTV Update ---------------------------------------------------- "Incredible. We'd wish them luck, but they don't need it." Milly Luxford and Vicky Edwards, of Spirit FM's 'UNSIGNED' ---------------------------------------------------- "Francis & Boyd combine what is difficult to combine as a band: energetic live shows, excellent music, and thought-provoking themes and lyrics. This is their year." ChiLIVE Promotions (chilive.co.uk) ---------------------------------------------------- "Stunning Folk Rock." Bognor Beat, of Bognor ROX Festival. ----------------------------------------------------  |
