[Newly signed to the Militia Group, Fielding blends lush soundscapes and subtle instrumentation to a beautiful mix. Soothing melodies and soaring choruses hint at a slight brit pop influence. This new band holds another surprise. They feature former Plankeye members, Eric Balmer and Adam Ferry, plus Eric’s wife Beth Balmer. This hot new band will bring a new taste of indie rock charm to the forefront. If you enjoyed “Relocation” by Plankeye, you’ll love this so much more.
