Artist: Twelve Caesars
Release: Swan Fendered Mercury EP
Release date: Friday, March 18th
Label: Ramrock Red Records
Cat. No: RRR026

Ramrock Red Records are incredibly happy to introduce Andrew and Steve to you, collectively known as Twelve Caesars along with their debut EP, ‘Swan Fendered Mercury’ which is dedicated to the memory of Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author of 'A Bright Shining Lie', Neil Sheehan. To arrive at the point of this release has been slightly circuitous – an introduction to the duo via Soundcloud in 2019, the delivery of their original track and a lengthy wait for the North Street West gang to get into the studio to remix, closed for nearly a year due to COVID. But, like all great plans, it’s come together beautifully, and the results are far beyond everyone’s initial expectations. The original version features Andrew’s driving vocals and big, punchy guitar chords and Steve’s confident production delivered with an indie rock sensibility. The North Street West crew come in with their New Radical guns blazing ready to take on the Summer of Love ’22 with their extra horn propulsion, Darren Morris on additional keyboards and bass over an incessant beat – if you never got ‘mad for it’ or raved until the sun came up, you’ll be rapidly inducted via this remix.

Twelve Caesars came into being when Andrew met Steve, the in-house producer at Parklands Studio where Andrew went to record an EP with his group, ‘Candy Stash’ about 8 years ago. But put all that on hold for a brief interlude….previous to hooking up with Andrew, Steve completed numerous tours of America playing Hammond organ, bass, Blues harp and production with Hobe and Denzil which, in Steve’s words, led to ‘critical acclaim and bugger all else’. After a stint in the studio concept duo, ‘The Julie Band ‘, Steve returned to the UK and continued to write music that ended up in ‘The Shrink Is In’, ‘Cruel Intentions 2’, ‘College Road Trip’ and ‘The In Crowd’. After the initial hook up with Steve, Andrew left the music industry and became a very successful stand-up comedian touring the U.K and being part of the Edinburgh Fringe until the lure of the studio beckoned once more where Steve and Andrew recorded and released their ‘While Stars Collide’ album in 2021…and the rest, as they say, is history.
