AS WE LEAVE

5 QUESTIONS AS WE LEAVE

WHO ARE YOU?

We are ‘As We Leave’: Caine Entwistle, Kyle Abram, Tom Gardner & Kit Joliffe.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

We write, record and produce all our own music! We have also branched out into video making, painting and journalism.

WHY DO YOU DO IT?

We make music because we are creative souls and we are compelled to! It’s part artistic ambition, part selfhelp therapy. Being creative is part of our DNA, what brought us all together. In a world where ambition is tied up with contacts, money and hypocrisy, music is always universal, a language all humanity can speak and understand. Make music for yourself, make it for others... just don’t make it to be famous!!… make it because you have to!

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?

We have just released the second single ‘Wood for the Trees’ off the new EP, the 2nd with Abbey Records. We are currently excited about writing new material that’s a bit different to what we’ve done before. Caine is always painting and Kyle has just put together a little magazine with his brother-in-law.

WHAT'S THE HOT TOPIC?

The hottest topic for all of us collectively has to be Andy Shauf (Kit went to watch him recently in London - great gig, nice guy) and the Beatles documentary ‘Get Back’. All of us love the Beatles, I mean it’s the wellspring of life for any songwriter and to see that footage, their processes (especially at that point in time) was utterly compelling, inspiring and vindicates all our own hard work.

We have our new EP ‘Stop Making Plans’ available on the 24th of June as a limited edition cassette tape and download but all our releases are available to buy on Bandcamp and there’s a 10” vinyl of our first EP ‘Everything to a Point’ available as well.
