In Fear Of Olive

about

2011 has seen In Fear Of Olive very busy in the studio and on the road.. The result is twenty songs of amazing quality, depth and soul that belies the band’s young age. In recent support performances alongside Magazine, King Charles, Lindi Ortega, Southside Johnny, The (Beautiful) South and Alabama3, audiences have been requesting that most unusual of things for an opening act… an encore. In Fear of Olive started out as a guitar-led trio, comprising of Jake Cope, France Lahmar and P.J.Burdett. They embarked on a musical journey taking on board influences as diverse as Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan. Their American roots inspired sound further developed when multi-instrumentalist Arv Teeroovengadum was recruited, completing the lineup as a quartet with drums and percussion. Their debut 4 track EP, entitled ‘All We Can Do Is Wonder’, was released on May 3rd 2011 on the Wire-Sound label and is distributed through Cargo. In support of the release they were invited to play live in session on Clive Anderson's ‘Loose Ends’ on BBC Radio 4. Louis Theroux, who was also on the show, is now a big fan declaring, "…the band sounded terrific, kind of Doorsy". 2011 saw the band play over 60 gigs including appearances at boutique festivals nationwide and a much coveted support tour with Magazine. In a public poll the band won 4 weeks of radio play on BBC Sheffield and this, together with plays and sessions on BBC 6 Music, BBC Leeds, BBC Humberside and radio 4, a growing legion of admirers
