Playmaker are a four piece band with the classic line up of bass, drums, two guitars and two vocals. They mix tunes with power chords and deliver with exactly the right amount of attitude to create an eclectic sound, which is both unique and instantly addictive.
The band released their 'Arizona' single through small Indie label Pale Fox – it topped the Storm Radio listeners chart for 5 weeks running. It was also played by Steve Lamacq and Clare Sturgess on XFM. On hearing the single, Crowded House manager Grant Thomas immediately licensed the single via Pale Fox for release in Australia on his Indie label Little Big Music.
The video for Arizona, featuring the band playing in a battered caravan, was directed by Jon Harris, editor of Snatch and Layer Cake. Their last album, The Girl Who Thought She Could Fly, was released last year and the title track topped the Loud Up Track Of The Week Chart.
Last year, BBC Introducing featured Playmaker track The Girl Who Thought She Could Fly, with DJ Gary Crowley stating it was ‘infectious and very catchy..’.
Following on from a headline show at the iconic, now closed, 12 Bar Club in London’s SOHO, Playmaker were nominated and won the Galaxy Music Debbie Appleby Award for best live act.
Playmaker's new single, The Men Who Stole The Moon is available now to download & to stream, through Spotify, Apple Music and all other music platforms.
