Sheytoons

10th February 2013

Sheytoons were born in the summer of 2010 when Ramin Karimloo called up old friend Hadley Fraser and invited him to come and work on some songs. Serious record label interest, due to his habitual and unsurpassed mask-wearing, had led Ramin to declare he could write music. Quietly confident that his declaration was true he felt the need however to seek support from long-time musical journeyman and Show Closer Par Excellence, Hadley. As it transpired the two worked well together, and quickly a rhythm to the writing and a sound for the music emerged.

Leaving behind their day jobs and instead following a new musical route, the result is SHEYTOONS (a Farsi expression meaning “climb down from the Devil’s donkey”. I bet a lot of you didn’t know the Devil had a donkey. Yeah, well, he does. And he gives people a lift from time to time).

Influences take SHEYTOONS through The Avett Brothers, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Tragically Hip, Crooked Still, Fleet Foxes, Johnny Cash and all the way back round again to a folk-rock sound all of their own. With a belief in the simplicity of music, and a penchant for vocal harmony, the band settled into a groove quickly and hope to be releasing some studio work in the coming months.
