FOUND Profile

Brainchild of college buddies Ziggy Campbell (lead vocals, guitar), Tommy Perman (bass guitar, synth) and Kev Sim (sampler, melodica), FOUND began life putting on many weird and wonderful events in art galleries, warehouses and even storage containers. More recently, they recruited the help of Gav Sutherland (keys, backing vocals) and Alan Stockdale (drums, percussion, live visual projection), and morphed into a formidable pop group in 2005.  More recently still, they have been working on musically responsive robots! Lend them your ears.

The band follow an almost Kraftwerk-ian method of recording – where songs are treated like scientific art experiments. They specialise in pulling sounds from their every day surroundings, cutting ’n’ pasting them into songs. Since 2005, they have consistently challenged the perceived limitations of home-recording, through a series of self-released singles and EPs - producing aurally stunning, thought-provoking-music-you-can-move-to, in exquisitely designed packaging, from the confines of their bedrooms. This is not merely self-indulgent experimentation for the sake of it, but rather vital, stimulating and (above all) fun pop music.

Their self-released debut ‘Found Can Move’ earned them an impressive amount of national radio play including support from Radio 1 DJs, Steve Lamaq, Rob Da Bank, Huw Stevens and Vic Galloway. They’ve recorded radio sessions for Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Scotland, Radio Magnetic and The Selector and back in 2006 they recorded an exclusive live session for a major US radio station in the legendary ‘Beatles Studio’ at Abbey Road. MTV Europe snapped up the videos for both their debut single ‘Mullokian’ and follow up ‘Static 68’, and the band made their debut TV appearance on BBC Scotland’s The Music Show.

Now signed to King Creosote's label, Fence Records, FOUND have a prolific output with two full length albums and six singles / EPs in the last two years, with releases on Fence Records (Scotland), Creeping Bent (Scotland) and Aufgeladen Und Bereit (Hamburg, Germany). A selection of these can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/foundtheband

FOUND have also become sought-after remixers and in the last six months have applied their creative imaginations to reworking the music of King Creosote (Warners), Make Model (EMI), Attic Lights (Island) and Au Revoir Simone (Moshi Moshi). A selection of these can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/fndrmx

Live they have built up a strong fan base across the UK and highlights of their live career to date include the BBC’s first Electric Proms, T in the Park, Triptych, the Fence Collective’s ‘Homegame’ festival, Brighton's Great Escape festival and the Connect Festival.

"their sound is so progressive, so completely unique, it’s demeaning to tie it to the stale confines of a label. Instead, we should be celebrating the euphoria created by their extraordinary kaleidoscopic soundscapes. 9/10" - Drowned in Sound
