SPIRAL 25 were a psychedelic rock band from Oxford, England. The band were Russell Denham (vocals), Joe Chapman (bass guitar), Chris Monger (guitar, electric mandolin, harmonica, synth), Sunny Singh (Guitar), Andy Proper (drums) and occasionally Nick Gray on Violin. "They wear their influences not so much on their sleeves as stamped on their foreheads but confidently and with singleminded unselfconsciousness, and as they lay down a groove as black as a fallen angel’s armpit, guitars providing a shifting pattern of textures over the relentless rhythm..." - Dale Kattack, Nightshift Magazine. Spiral 25 were formed at the beginning of 2008 and they released their self titled E. P. in January 2009. Joe Chapman is now the vocalist and bass guitarist with The Neon Violets and part of the musical project My Tricksy Spirit. Russell Denham, Sunny Singh and Chris Monger are part of the band Sonic Rising. Read more on Last.fm.
