Biography
Warwick Avenue is a Danish band signed to US label Columbia Records. Their sound can be described as a mix of Alternative Rock & Easy Listening. "LET IT OUT" Warwick Avenue's debut album, Let It Out, was released to iTunes on August 2, 2005.
The five musicians in the musical collective known as Warwick Avenue hail originally from Copenhagen Denmark
The Band Consists of:
Jakob Illeborg - vocals
Rune Funch - guitar
Jakob Falgren - bass
Nikolaj Torp - keyboards
Kristoffer Sonne - drums
Three of the group's members–Rune Funch, Anders Christensen, and Nikolaj Torp–had originally played together in Denmark as part of a modern jazz group called "Once Around The Park," whose debut album, "Unity," earned the Danish equivalent of a Grammy for Jazz Album of the Year in 1997. After attending Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music, Rune enrolled in the Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen, where he met Anders and Kristoffer.
A "great fan of American authors and songwriters," Jakob citing musical influences like Neil Young, Bob Dylan and the Band and literary heroes like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Henry Miller as sources of inspiration behind the group's exquisite cut-diamond songcraft.
Each band member has contributed songs to the album and it's this collective collaborative chemistry that gives Warwick Avenue its distinctive sound and sensibility.
It's this uncanny ability "to universalize the personal" that gives songs like "Picture You," "Beautiful," or "At The End Of The Day" their subtle power and translucence.
Over the last year and a half, Warwick Avenue has been working with British producer Richard Norris in Eden Studios in London bringing forth an album, Let It Out, mixed by Richard Norris and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
