MAD STARING EYES are a 4-piece from London who have been described as a cross between the Cure and U2. In 2005, after releasing their debut EP, they won the prestigious John Peel ‘Best New Band’ competition and played Glastonbury Festival that summer. Since then they have toured the USA, Canada, Russia and Europe and played shows with everyone from The Fratellis to The Subways. Their debut album, ‘Bored Of Looking Cool’, recorded at Ray Davies’ (The Kinks) Konk Studios in North London, was released in July 2008 on their own label, Retina Records.

Having previously performed at SXSW and NXNE, and winning the 2008 Toronto Independent Music Award for ‘Best International Act’, Mad Staring Eyes were one of the select few UK bands to be invited to New York to play the industry showcase festival, CMJ Music Marathon. Live favourite ‘Walking In The Streets’ (the first single off their debut album) has been featured on hit US TV show ‘Gossip Girl’, and they are about to begin a college radio push across the USA and Canada. Second single ‘Well Done Son’ has just been played by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio6.
