LONDON ROCK BAND HIDING IN PUBLIC TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM WORLD AWAY YARDS APART
Title Track Wins First Prize in 2008 International Songwriting Competition
New York, NY—London rock band Hiding In Public is set to release its third LP, World’s Away, Yards Apart this May in the US and UK. With a line-up of accomplished musicians ranging in studio and live credits from Duran Duran to Queen, Hiding in Public boasts magic pop songs with classic rock smooth.
It was no accident of luck when David Holland, founder/songwriter/guitarist of Hiding in Public, reached out to his pal Kevin Porée of Berry Street Studio: Porée came complete with stalwart mates John Tonks and Jamie Moses. Tonks is an accomplished drummer who can tag Neneh Cherry, Sugababes, Fish, Duran Duran and Paul Oakenfold among some of his past employers; Moses is a well-known UK session kat with a résumé that reads like a racy novel, and with whom Kevin worked on the Los Pacaminos album (with Paul Young).
