Artist description Accolade a band of the Indie-Rock Persuasion were formed in the early stages of 2001 by Dave Zdanowicz and Andrew Barton. Later that year Dave and Andrew set out on a quest to unleash their music to the world. With the studio album "something in the sky" already produced and finalised, the band decided to gain feedback from local music editors and in particular guru "Jim Jack" of the Bradford Telegraph and Argus. Jim’s response to the album was more than welcomed by the band with quotes such as: “Like an upbeat Embrace with a better vocal” “A polished slice of Neil Finn pop”. Due to these comments and positive feedback from album sales reaching encouraging sales figures. The band was positively glowing and was inspired to write some new and improved material for the latest demo disk. Small selections of these tracks have been uploaded to various sites on the Internet with terrific response and the band is currently enjoying their position at the top of the download chart on www.getoutthere.com. The band who are currently rehearsing and performing at least 3 times a week have decided to introduce new styles and influences into their repertoire. Including such artists as Coldplay, Lifehouse, Travis and Crowded House. More recently the band have been focusing on the live scene playing some of the biggest venues in the north of England, wooing crowds reaching upwards of 4500. We feel that given the right opportunity and backing there is no limit to what the band can achieve. “The future is bright the Future is Accolade”
