Hailing from London, UK, The Poor Souls of Pompeii used to be an indie power pop foursome.
Having found Mani Kashmiri practising air guitar on the London Underground, singer Andy Pisanu recruited Mark Dolan to play bass on a park bench outside a notorious Highgate boozer. Si Cross joined around a year later, when it became apparent that the original drummer would rather attend christenings in Liverpool than spend time in the studio eating lasagne and Tunnock's caramel wafers.
The Poor Souls' songs consist of heart-wrenching lyrics, four-to-the-floor bassdrum beats and soaring guitars.
Their debut EP "These Are The Mistakes Amateurs Make", recorded on location in London, was released in 2009, and followed with a second EP, "Exceed the Stated Dose" in 2010.
The band disbanded in summer 2010 with a feature length farewell concert at perennial favourite The Water Rats. Their posthumous debut/swansong album was overdue even before Christmas (2010), and has finally been released for *free* at their facebook page. Read more on Last.fm.
