Air Traffic are an alternative rock band formed in Bournemouth, England in 2005 while at sixth-form college. The band is composed of Chris Wall (vocals, piano), Tom Pritchard (guitar), and James Maddock (bass guitar).
In June 2006, Air Traffic released their first single, double A-side
Just Abuse Me/Charlotte on London-based indie label Club Fandango. Following this the band signed to major label EMI.
They went on to releaseNever Even Told Me Her Name as a four track EP in October 2006.
Their debut album Fractured Life was released in July 2007 charting at number 42 in the UK, supported by the singlesShooting Star, No More Running Away, and a re-release of Charlotte.
In February 2008 Fractured Life was released in the USA through the label Astralwerks, with additional trackCome On which signaled a darker sound and lyrics thought to be about the band’s troubled relationship with EMI. This release was supported with an extensive tour of America with Elbow.
In 2009 Air Traffic began writing their second album, following the departure of drummer David Jordan and leaving EMI. The first glimpse of new material was an Internet only download calledAmbulate which showed a clear departure from their previous mainstream Alt-pop sound.
June of 2009 saw them set out on their first UK tour which saw new songs such as Hold On, Wib, Ritc, WL (Working titles) previewed for the first time. David Reay replaced David Jordan as drummer, however is yet to be confirmed in the full lineup. June also saw Air Traffic return to festivals at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park.

"Following this the band signed to major label EMI." I was gonna say they need a decent contract. And I await future stuff with open arms.
