Biography

Left With Pictures are from London, and formed in 2005. They started with three hard-up, classically trained musicians – Stuart Barter, Rob Wicks and Toby Knowles – who forsook the orchestra pit for the sanctuary of Toby’s parents’ loft. Armed with melodicas, guitars, violins, kazoos, ‘found sounds’ and a shoestring budget, they began with two self released EPs – 2005’s ‘EP’ and ‘Making Chalk’ from 2006.

In 2008 LWP signed to Organ Grinder Records – and released an EP entitled “Secretly” which gained them rave reviews as well as a slew of radio play. They have since released two albums, Beyond Our Means (2009) and In Time (2011), to critical acclaim:

“Absolutely beautiful.” – Lauren Laverne

“Beyond brilliant.“ – Drowned in Sound

“Totally beguiling on every level” – The Line of Best Fit

“Lush pocket symphonies both lyrically arch and stunningly tender.” BBC MUSIC

“If you’re a fan of the British pop-folk scene, you can’t afford to not know this band.” – Musos Guide.

Over time the band have grown into a 5-piece, and honed their live set with appearances alongside the likes of Peggy Sue, Sleeping States, The Leisure Society and Johnny Flynn, winning admiration from fellow musicians along the way.

The bands are currently preparing material for their third album.
