The Storys is four singer songwriters all taking lead vocals on different songs, their sound is both fragile and intense, underpinned by a dark lyrical edge. They can turn from tender country-tinged ballad one minute to an as-wide-as-the-ocean stomp the next - in the same category as classic harmony vocal bands such as Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Crosby Stills Nash & Young and The Beatles, all of whom also had multiple singers.

The Storys have signed worldwide to Warner Music and their Korova label will be releasing the next single "Be By Your Side" on March 13th and the album on March 27th. The Storys will also be the 'special guests' on Elton John’s forthcoming 11-date UK stadium and arena tour!
