Formed in late 2006, by Phil Gionfriddo, (Spencer P. Jones’ Escape Committee, Dynamo), Liam Linley (Houlette) and Rocket Science’s Paul Maybury and Kit Warhurst, The Bowers quickly rose to prominence with the release of their first 7”, ‘Ivy Climbing’ on Torn & Frayed Records (Dirty Three, Kill Devil Hills). ‘Ivy Climbing’ garnered great support from radio and press, including a marathon 4 week stint on Rage for the clip, and a programming by friends The Drones.

Two more 7”s followed, the 3 minute pop masterpiece ‘Angel Of Sorrow’ and the Holy Soul split ‘Give It’ (on Torn & Frayed and In-Fidelity Records respectively). In 2009 Paul Maybury parted with the band to concentrate on his studio and was ably replaced by Mission Control’s Spencer Dyson as we fast-forward to 2010 and the release of the debut full-length ‘Her Night’.
