May 17th sees the release of the inspired, self titled debut album from South Yorkshire based four piece, Exit Calm.
A sonic and soulful masterpiece, this impressive debut showcases the bands distinctive wall of immense and anthemic sound whilst simultaneously introducing you to a band whose sincerity, presence and originality serves to remind you what 'real' bands are all about.
Produced by Paddy Byrne (Unkle, The Hours) and mixed by renowned mixer and remixer, Ulrich Schnauss the album features current single "Hearts and Minds" alongside live favourites such as "We're On Our Own", "Serenity", the cinematically beautiful "Reference" and psychedelic ambition of "Recovery".

No stranger to travelling the length and breadth of Britain, Exit Calm toured the UK last year supporting the likes of Echo and The Bunnymen, The Charlatans, Modest Mouse and Soulsavers; gathering and expanding a fervently loyal fan base along the way.
With heady guitars, ambient and effect laden layers, echoes of musical heroes such as The Verve and Spiritualized are undeniable, yet Exit Calm's delivery is incomparably unique and in a class of its own. This is a band that once seen, leave no doubt in belief; coming alive on stage and evoking an atmosphere of epic proportions. Exit Calm is sure to be the greatest album you will hear this year.
'Exit Calm' will be released on May 17, 2010 through Club AC30.
Single "Hearts & Minds" is out now.
Exit Calm are: Nicky Smith (vocals), Rob Marshall (guitars), Simon Lindley (bass) and Scott Pemberton (drums).
"With ragged vocals and swathes of widescreen guitar effects reminiscent of early Verve, south yorkshires four-piece Exit Calm have a penchant for all things epic" (Q MAGAZINE)
"Exit Calm are so far out in front of the rest of the competition at present it's frightening. In fact, you can almost imagine bands forming in their wake as we speak." (DROWNED IN SOUND)
"Unashamedly epic, their effects-laden sound adds a wide-eyed romantic edge that is alluringly easy to lose yourself in." (THE METRO)
