Bio
Deborah, Ken, Alan & Dave aren't too bothered about following the latest musical trends! If the hairs on their collective necks stand to attention when they're writing songs .. they know they've hit their own personal paydirt. We think you'll like their songs too.
About
Otherside have just released their 3rd studio album 'There's No Grey In Black' and are preparing a clutch of single releases for 2009. Amidst all this hard work, they're "tentatively" working on studio album #4!
But how did we get from there to here? Well, Otherside were formed in June 2005 by Ken Worthing who was (and still is) the bands' main songwriter, instrumentalist and studio engineer and Trevor Eynon who wrote the lyrics and sang the main vocal lines. In October 2006, Otherside's debut album: 'Looking For The Fine Line' was released on local Indie label: Kebabylon Productions. To cut a long story short, Ken and Trev parted company in May 2007.
Usually, when a band loses it's lead singer; it spells the end for the group. Unusually, when Ken split with Trev, it became a very Positive raison d'etre for him to take Otherside to new heights.
To cap things on phase #1 of Otherside, Kebabylon released a 23 track singles and rare tracks compilation album in June 2007, 'Audible Traces Vol.1' that neatly rounded up the 7 songs that made up Otherside's first 2 E.P. releases plus another 16 tracks or alternate mixes, unreleased outtakes and general hard-to-find stuff.
Cut to June 2007, enter Deborah Harris! Stunning vocalist extraordinaire!! Deborah proved to be just the catalyst that Ken needed to make the new songs even MORE special. Within 4 months, they'd completed the master mixes on all 12 tracks for the next album: 'Everything Turns To Rust'.
Knowing that they had an album that was a huge stylistic leap (in every way imaginable) from Otherside's debut album, they sought the help of industry legend: Jon Astley, to master the album. Btw, if the name rings any bells, it's because Jon has previously mastered artists such as Tori Amos, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Small Faces and KT Tunstall to name but a few.
The album was released by Kebabylon Productions on the 31st October 2007 and contains 12 tracks, including the lead track from the 'MORicana' CD single.
The songs on 'Everything Turns To Rust' deal with many themes: Love, Pain, Hate, Sprituality, Sex, Emptiness, Despair, all come to mind. .. but all the themes are wrapped up in music to utterly seduce you.
Freshly rejuvenated by the radio airplay that 'MORicana's received, Otherside are touring the U.K. with Deborah Harris singing, Ken Worthing on guitar and Al Roberts on bass plus Dave Goodman on drums and percussion.
The band released a NEW 6 track maxi cd single on 31:07:08. The lead track is 'Cartwheel (Round In Circles)'
The new single is a 5m:55s revision of 'Cartwheel' from 'Everything Turns To Rust'. Significantly, one of the additional songs on the disc ('His Royal Bitterness') is a song taken from the groups follow up album to ' .. Rust' .. 'There's No Grey In Black' (Released: 31:10:08)!
