Description
Fractured Persona, more than a Band name or title, depicts not only a state of mind but also a way of life. In their music they have tried to incorporate many styles and influences that appeal to them as listener’s and hope that in doing so they have created a CD which will be enjoyed by a diverse audience open to new music. The songs themselves are catchy melodies with full instrumental backing. The subject matter is a mixture of themes that relate to personal experience, from love, depression and schizophrenia. Fractured Persona is the Brain-child of Richard Banbury (singer/songwriter & poet). Having written and performed many of his own songs in various guises over the years, Banbury has finally found the time to record them. From ‘Phantasm’ to ‘Psycho-Dad’, people have enjoyed the sound and anticipated the album that has finally come to fruition. On meeting and befriending Matt Evans (talented producer/session musician), the pair set about recording this long over due project and peaked the interest of Emma Ross and James McHardy at Petrified Records. They in turn took the project on, with Emma designing the Art work for the album, producing the 1st promo video (Why are we why?) and creating the Enhanced CD section on the album. The 2nd video (Fractured Persona) was shot at the Doves Centre, Penarth, S. Wales (MIND in the Vale) and stars many staff, volunteers, and service users of the charity organisation. It was then edited and produced by Post-Graduate, Angela Thomas. With a new Band for a live line-up, Fractured Persona now consists of Richard Banbury, James McHardy, Ross and Nikki Halliday and have been gigging at various venues throughout S. Wales, including ‘the St. David’s Hall’ and ‘Clwb Ifor Bach’. They have released their album “Unspoken” and all profits from the venture will be donated to Ashgrove School, Penarth, S. Wales (the only School in all Wales that caters exclusively to the educational needs of autistic children). Fractured Persona also hope to use the album as a vehicle to raise awareness of all mental illness. As well as gigging, receiving Radio airplay, releasing mp3 downloads on various sites, and podcasting they are presently in pre-production of their 3rd music video (All I’m asking).
