Edit history

The English Rain is a Brisbane based band, co-founded by Steve Boom and Neil Steward. Their influences of bands like The Beatles, The Jam and Tom Petty distilled into a sound similar to indie pop bands like The Shins, DMA’s and Astral Drive. The goal has always been to try to write songs with strong melodies and hooks and we love jangly guitar driven pop songs The band was named after Steve’s favourite Beatles song, and that the rain in England could be both depressing and joyous, which covered the feeling of the songs. During 2019 the pair decided to finally record their forthcoming debut album Echoes of You and start the project with the first single My Town. ‘The idea was to invite people we respected and were fans of, to form a collective that could evolve and morph depending on the song’ said Steve. For My Town they asked Alister Bell of speedstar to provide vocals, and the results were so good, he is going to handle quite a few songs on the album. Jason Millhouse from the
