The Soundcarriers

The Soundcarriers were formed in Nottingham, where founder members Adam, Pish and Dorian have played together since childhood, switching instruments and roles and generally ignoring the conventions of what it means to be a band. Leonore completes the bands line-up adding subtle, gentle vocals and harmonies.
