Giles Van Lane (vocals), Marc Neudeck (bass), Tommy Hendriksen (guitar), Steve Campkin (drums) and principal songwriter, Terence Warville (guitar) were formed in 2009. United in their dedication to breathe new life into the cause of hard rock, their very first gig was played in a bikers bar and subsequent shows have included auspicious dates at the 100 Club, Scala and rock fest, Sonisphere 2010/11, where they have recruited a battalion of loyal followers.
Largely written by guitarist Terence Warville (ex-Stimulator) in the Ibiza, he and a mate found themselves sans TV and Internet one day and began the process of recording on mobile phones and dictaphones. Using various buzzwords (faith, hope, unity) to inspire a feeling of transcendence, Handful Of Dreams soon became reality. "It took over a year to record the album," says Warville. "There was no rush - we were doing it because we enjoyed it and everything seemed very organic and not forced." Having toured in support of Motorhead and Anthrax with his previous band Stimulator, Warville describes the Slam Cartel firm as "amazing" and the writing and recording of Handful Of Dreams as his finest accomplishment.
