Allen and Douglas
We
- Allen and Douglas - have been writing songs since
our teens. Strumming, singing and writing away in
old railway stations and under canal bridges we
developed our sound, harmonies and song-craft as
young men through hard work and trial and error.
Nowadays after several hiatuses due to differing
work and travel paths we practice and record
regularly in a small bedroom studio in Birmingham
UK.
We write primarily for pleasure, producing many
genres of music . Our latest body of work"THE SPIDER
& THE PHOENIX" is conceptual and charts a journey
from depression to recovery. "CASINO GAMES" is
ultimately an indie sound with an electronic edge.
Previous albums were DRIFTWOOD which is essentially
modern folk and demonstrative of harmonies and niche
song writing.
Other works include "THE VORTEX", "SEARCHING FOR THE
CAGED GOD", "NEW SPIRITS AND OLD GHOSTS", "ALL THE
RIGHT NOISES" and "THOUGHTS OF YESTERDAY" which were
more eclectic.
It would be magic if you have the time to check us
out. WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST! ALLEN AND DOUGLAS
(CRAIG AND STEVE)
Album: The Spider & The Phoenix (2018)

conceptual with two continuous pieces of music . The
