The Earthling Society formed in early 2004 when singer songwriter / guitarist Fred Laird and David Fyall met up with drummer Jon Blacow. Disillusioned with the current music trends and sharing a love of 1970s progressive rock, krautrock and 1960s psychedelia, Earthling Society built a primitive 8-track recording studio in a corner of a disused glass factory. Ignoring any commercial intention, they started recording what became their debut album Albion purely as they had the ability to do so. By August 2005 it became album of the month on former Teardrop Explodes frontman Julian Cope's website Head Heritage.
What sets this band apart from the others is their unique and original take on the spacerock genre which has lead to their most successful reviews to date (as compiled from the bands website).
The Earthling Society is:
Fred Laird - Guitar and Vocals
