The Dunwells are a Leeds based four-piece made up of brothers Joseph and David Dunwell and cousins Robert Clayton and Jonny Lamb. They were drawn together by their shared love of bands like Bon Iver, Elbow and Damien Rice and they’ve been making music together since they first met in school. With one album under their belt and several rounds of successful touring in the US and UK, The Dunwells know their career is only beginning. And they have not let any time go to waste. Despite the hectic schedule of constantly being on the road throughout the last year, the band found time to write an all new set of songs, mostly during late nights in hotel rooms.

Having been inspired to work with producer Steve Harris (Kodaline, Kaiser Chiefs) after hearing Kodaline’s ‘High Hopes’, the band set about tracking Steve down. The band’s collaboration with Steve has resulted in an incredibly emotional set of songs, heartfelt lyrics and four part harmonies to melt even the hardest of hearts. The ‘Show Me Emotion’ EP was released on September 8th.

How would you describe your music style?

It hard to describe I think it has lots of influences, Its guitar music with an acoustic feel and loads of vocals as we all sing.

What’s been your best live experience?

One of the best shows we have played so far was when we played Red Rocks in Colorado it was our first amphitheatre show, there was 6000 people there it was ace.

You some new releases available can you tell us more about that?

Our new single Show Me Emotion icame out on September 8, along with an EP. We are so proud of this and can't wait for people to hear it. Its a new sound and a change of direction for the band. The album will be out next year but we will be releasing some more music between now and then.

It’s pretty much finished but we are still writing all the time.
