1) Founded in July 2017 by singer and producer, Kyle J Wilson, and guitarist, Kieran Thornton, Auger quickly sold out their debut CD single ‘New Life’ / ‘My Guardian’ (Rebco Records UK), gaining radio play as far away as North America. The track ‘My Guardian’ was subsequently selected to appear on ‘Goth Music Orgy, Vol. 4’ released on darkTunes Music Group label (DE). As a result, the band signed a three album deal with darkTunes Music Group who released the band’s debut album ‘The Awakening’ (via Soul Food Distribution), in April 2018.
Since forming they’ve been unleashing their dramatic live performance on the European mainland and have undertaken shows in Germany (September 2018, as tour support for Stoneman), Finland (July 2018, Lumous Festival) and Belgium (August 2018, W-Fest).
The year of 2018 has seen Auger support Solar Fake, Massive Ego, Sulpher and in November, Lord Of The Lost, on all the UK dates of their ‘Thornstar Tour’.
In total, Auger, conquered seven different countries in 2018, delivering a passionate performance as far as Rakvere, Estonia.
