Rory Attwell is a musician best known for his part in UK punk trio, Test Icicles, who formed in 2004 and played a handful of concerts before disbanding on 22 April 2006, after their sold out final show at the Astoria in London.[1] During their time together they released the album, For Screening Purposes Only, and had UK Top 40 singles with "What's Your Damage" and "Circle.

[edit] Pre Test Icicles
Prior to Test Icicles Rory had been in countless other bands, including Balls and Sin o the East.
[edit] Post Test Icicles
After Test Icicles split he went on to form RAT:ATT:AGG (later known as Wrists), with members of Bullet Union, Navajo Code and Abandon Ship. In 2006 they released their debut single Can We Fix It on Moshi Moshi records, with a limited run of 1000 7"s. In May 2007 they released an extended EP with demos and radio sessions on the Rallye/Klee label exclusively for the Japanese audience, entitled And On the First Day God Created.... They also provided remixes for bands such as Fake Shark - Real Zombie! and The Kills. However the band announced their official split on 30 November 2007 and offered fans free downloads of their songs. Attwell has since went on to play drums and guitar in the post punk band KASMs, however he left the band in April 2010.
He is also a notable and sought-after record producer, and under the guise 'Brattwell' has produced recordings for up-and-coming bands such as S.C.U.M, An Experiment On a bird In the Air Pump, White Rose Movement, Sleeping States, Mafia Lights, Male Bonding, Koko Von Napoo, Favours For sailors, Fair Ohs, Cold Pumas, Kasms, amongst many others.
In January 2010 Attwell was named one of five people set to "shape the sound of 2010" by BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat[3] and had a 3 page spread in the music magazine, Loud and Quiet.[4]
In December 2010, after his departure from the band Kasms earlier the same year, Attwell announced that he is due to release a solo album, all compositions being performed, written and recorded by Attwell,[5] under the guise Warm Brains[6] on Marshall Teller Records in March 2011.
