Info  
 
Fairview are a 4 piece band from Birmingham in the United Kingdom and have made a considerable impact on the local music scene since forming in early 2005. After road testing their songs, Fairview hit the studio in January 2006 to record a demo to help the band progress further. With the production aid of legendary British Punk producer Iain Wetherell (Fastlane, Gravel Trap, Vanilla Pod and The Departure) their demo showcases some early songs which are available to download on this site.

Fairview played a sold out unsigned showcase at the Little Civic in Wolverhampton and recently supported MC Lars at the Birmingham Barfly. This culminated in MC Lars asking the band to play a few dates on his national tour in October. With the band gaining more high profile shows they were asked to be main support for Sonic Boom Six (Deck Cheese Records) at Bar Academy. Fairview have been added to an event with Skindryd and My Awesome Compilation in December.

Fairview have also been played on Kerrang radio and got through to the last 10 from over 160 bands in a national Kerrang sponsored battle of the bands and they are currently in the semi finals. Fairview got selected by A&R scouts as one of the top 10 emerging acts in Birmingham to play at a weekend festival featuring Dirty Pretty Things. Song Lost For Words has been played in the biggest and most popular alternative club nights in Birmingham (Subculture, Snobs and the Kerrang sponsored Anarchy) and along with Honesty these songs have played on XFM, Pulse Rated and most local radio stations as well as various podcasts.

The band are building up a national profile and growing international interest especially from the USA. This was highlighted when the band where contacted by an independent Florida based record label to appear on their latest compilation featuring Allister and Bigwig.
