“Track 13. From Shipwreck to Shore from The Eleventh Hour Initiative's debut album 'Escapism'. The Eleventh Hour Initiative are: Bill Ryan(New Jersey, USA)-Lead Vocals/Music Emrys Hughes(Plymouth, UK)-Lead Music/Vocals 'Escapism' was made across the ocean without Ryan and Hughes ever 'meeting' in person. For more information on the band and their debut album 'Escapism' go to www.eleventhhourinitiative.com all music and images in this video are copyright The Eleventh Hour Initiative”

— NME

“Let me introduce you to Bill (USA) and Emrys (UK) they form The Eleventh Hour Initiative. They create a soul searching musical landscape which makes you ask just as many questions about yourself, in tandem with numerous queries about TEHI's thoughts and experiences. Escapism their first release as TEHI is an interesting attempt to try and strip down the meaning of the daily grind. The music is just one piece of TEHI story, their website features a blog where they have a story for each tune - all 14 of them - inspiration or afterthought, even the artwork - its all done by them - a lot of work for two people divided by an ocean. There is a lot of good music around, but I think what makes finding a band like TEHI so rewarding is that you can feel, pain, a darkness and a light at the end of the journey (Well that's my take on it). ”

— Tatjana and Steve, Indie Dunes

“What is wonderful about TEHI is that when interacting with them they want to know as much about you, its a two way street. We encourage everyone who listens to TEHI or reads this to take the time to interact with these two very friendly musos/artists. It wont be just a chat about music, in our experience it will turn into an ever evolving conversation about coffee, fears, tips on getting laid in a videogame, inspiration, the mystery of hash-tagging, winning the battle against yourself, pondering the propriety of eating sushi for breakfast. About life.... woven together with a love of music....music always at the core, the way it should be.”

— Tatjana and Steve, Indie Dunes

“Now I should share with you my nickname for this band, it came about when I first listened to them, the very first listen – and all I could think was that these guys are: ‘the kings of the intro!’ Don’t let that fool you though, the whole tracks are good. But I found that as each one started I was drawn in and eagerly listening. Its like when you here the intro to a favourite song, and you instantly recognise it and get excited that any moment now the lyrics will kick in and off you go - they definitely are masters of the build up. I couldn't choose my favourite TEHI intro but one of my favourite tracks is 'Try and get some sleep'. ”

— Kate, The Suddenly Kate Show

“The philosophy behind the album is expressed on their blog posts that I keep mentioning. For me, with every listen of the album I have enjoyed it more and realising that I could relate to some of the thoughts that Bill had at the time of writing the lyrics has meant that as a listener I get more from it. Whats amazing about music is that it is tuned into your emotions, whether you are the composer or the listener and a favourite and the final track on the album with a tender performance by Emrys is 'When the start begins':”

— Kate, The Suddenly Kate Show

“When I keep listening to an album it is inevitable that I will at some point spontaneously start la-la-ing the tune or da-de-da-dumming. What I never know is which song its going to be! Then the other morning I woke up with 'Pitfall' in my head. Its the shortest track on the album and had found a space in my mind.”

— Kate, The Suddenly Kate Show
