Artist Biography

Doves are a rock band from Manchester, United Kingdom. They are known for their large, epic sound, which combines dovetailing guitar lines with driving percussion and a penchant for atmospherics.

Originally formed in 1989 as Sub Sub, a dance act who coincided with the rise of the Hacienda and the rave scene from Manchester expanding outwards, they enjoyed moderate success for seven years, before suffering the disaster of their studio burning down, taking all their current recordings with them. The experience, tragedy and pressure of that would inspire their name-change, to Doves, and ultimately their first full-length album, "Lost Souls", released in April 2000.. Lost Souls was a dark, atmospheric effort, full of brooding keyboards and claustrophobic light grooves, yet charted at number 13, mainly due to the top 40 singles, "The Cedar Room", "Catch The Sun" and "The Man Who Told Everything".
