Siiiii were born in early 1983 when singer Paul, then only 19, moved from his native East Anglia to Sheffield purely to be in the band, joining guitarist Mark, and bassist Ange.

Siiiii disbanded in 1986 and the members went their separate ways. Mark went on to play with the Anti-Group and Paul became involved in The Niceville Tampa (now Niceville) and then DVO in South Wales. In 2005 having been "rediscovered" after a chance meeting of emails between Paul and Mick Mercer, the band are back, writing some incredible new material and cleaning up the analogue tracks from those early years.

The second, called "Modern" contains all new songs, issue date will be in 2014. Both albums are released on the band's own King Sol label. A new generation awaits them…
