Inclines

Inclines are a new four piece guitar outfit bursting out of the thriving Hay-on-Wye music scene.

The band has developed from the solo project of Stuart Fiddes (vocals, guitar) ‘fifteen lions’ which has seen him record for BBC Introducing and record forthcoming EP with Paul Cuddeford (Steve Harley, Bob Geldolf) and Morgan Fisher (Mott the Hoople). Live performances have included How The Light Gets In, The Globe (Hay-on-Wye), The Water Rats, The Lexington (London) and recently BB King’s Blues Bar, New York, USA with renowned US drummer Doug Yowell (Suzanne Vega, Joe Jackson).

‘INCLINES’ has come from the same genesis as fifteen lions but taken on its own distinct identity. The line up of Andrew Williams (bass, backing vocals), Brendan Hackett (drums), Matt Lewis (guitars (BBC Introducing)) and Stuart Fiddes create textured songs of melody, bounce, subtlety and crunch, melding influences from rock, blues, indie and post-punk.

INCLINES are at the beginning of their journey but have already gathered a strong local following.
