The Dials are a British band formed in 2002 in Brighton, England. Their music is a mixture of psychedelia, country and rock.

Details[edit]

The Dials released their debut self-titled album in 2007, which Americana UK describes as "A sprawling stylistically diverse work that is almost flawlessly executed ... An excellent debut."[1]

Their second album, The Companions of The Rosy Hours, was released in June 2009. Shindig! magazine said: "A band that never throw themselves wildly on a great idea, but instead nurture and raise it in absolute perfection ... The Dials have made one of the most promising LPs in ages."[2]

Their third album was released in October 2013 preceded by a single, "Rose Marie".

Andy Davies was previously a member of The Jennifers, and Gordon Russell spent six years as guitarist in Dr. Feelgood.
