Launching their latest single 'LAYER CAKE'

The Winters were formed in Sydney in mid 2001 out of a shared passion for the creation of original music and the resolve of the band’s four founding members to pursue a life long ambition.

The early years of The Winters existence saw the members developing their sound on the stages of Sydney’s pub circuit and in relentless hours of rehearsal. The music of The Beatles, Nick Drake, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Pink Floyd and The Who, coupled with more contemporary influences such as Coldplay, Augie March and Radiohead in fueling the group’s prolific output of original material.

It was the recording and subsequent release of The Winters’ first EP “Today” (distributed by MGM) on the 20th of May 2003 which marked the turning point at which the group began to feel their feet, fine tune their art, and gain some attention. Airplay on Triple J, Nova, FBI and 3RRR (Melbourne), in addition to support spots with more established acts such as Thirsty Merc, Waikiki, Bluebottle Kiss, The Camels and many more great bands helped to raise The Winters’ profile.

The groups second, self titled, EP was released to radio in mid October of 2005 (dates for launch show and follow up tour are to be announced shortly). The group’s second release was quickly placed on rotation on FBI and was played as part of the Net 50 show on Triple J.

Reviewers have added to The Winters’ gathering momentum, one commentator remarking that “It is music of substance and emotion, at once nostalgic and fresh” (Clem Bastow, Inpress Magazine, Feb 2004).

In February of 2004, and again in 2005, The Winters were selected to make an appearance in Melbourne as a showcase act for the Australian Music Week (AMW) Conference, a 5 day industry conference with a focus on showcasing Australian Music and providing international acts with exposure to the Australian Market.

The Winters have recently launched their third single 'LAYER CAKE'.
