Falling and Laughing release Bunnyhood EP

Falling and Laughing are a dynamic two piece band from Birmingham, England who draw upon indiepop melodies and post-rock dynamics in order to make their sound.

The band stumbled out of Birmingham's acoustic and open mic nights in 2007 when guitarist and singer Dunc met a drummer called Darryl and bassist called Stu Fletcher.

This line up played across Birmingham learning the fine art of how not to do in-between song banter and winning a few quid on pub machines after the gig. Stu later moved away, but rather than replacing a good friend, the band slimmed down to their current two piece and they started gigging again in 2009.

The sound of just a guitar, drums and singing allowed the two piece to explore a whole new dynamic, the lack of instruments was more than compensated by Dunc's quick chord changes and Darryl's busy drumming which brought some kind of cheery intensity to the songs. It was harder to win on the pub quiz machine with one less member though.

The four songs on Bunnyhood were recorded round the house of Pete from Horowitz on analogue and the EP captures Falling and Laughing at their most raw and personal.

The EP is packaged in a gorgeous screen-printed chipboard box with artwork by The Kooky Koala and includes a zine about the EP written by the band.

The debut 'Bunnyhood' EP is released on Odd Box Records and hits record shops on 6th September, 2010 (available to pre-order online). This is a super limited release of just 120 copies. It comes in a deluxe card box and has a free zine about the EP created by the band themselves.

"A band named after an Orange Juice song with a manifesto...It's like Falling And Laughing are trying too hard to attract our wandering schmindie eye. So here come the Field Mice, Postcard and Sarah Records namechecks and the wry bedroom diarist lyrics, but there's a strength to the writing that marks them aside from many suddenly on the same stylistic journey." - Sweeping the Nation

"Falling and Laughing, whose Belle and Sebastian influence is as obvious as it is pleasurable. The pared down approach is a good thing here as the songwriting is allowed to shine." - Blue Whale

"They are mightily entertaining on the banter front." - Indie MP3
