Biography
Formed in Nottingham not very long ago, it's members from all over the world - the British world at least - The Charm Offensive are an alternapoprock trio that sound like noise and distortion desperately trying to disguise a tune; like a melody that wants to love you and hurt you at the same time. These are pop songs. Just very, very heavy pop songs.
The line up of Mark (guitar/vox), Lawrie (drums/vox) and Kylie (bass/vox) have been together just 9 months. Mark and Lawrie persuaded one of their fans - a tiny little Welsh girl with a huge bass guitar and an even bigger sound - to leave her friends, family and native Wales to come and make as much noise as she possibly could. Together they have already destroyed hundreds of people's faces with noise, and pop songs that you can't dance to.
To date the band have played up and down the country on five self-promoted tours and have released two sold out EPs. Due for release in Summer 2008 is the band's third EP, A Scripted Ending, on their own Exit Music label. The Charm Offensive have also already recorded their debut album with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Mclusky, Pixies) at Electrical Audio in Chicago, which is due for release in Autumn 2008.
