THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM- PRESS NOTES;
Mirror Shot were never meant to be like this. Niall, Adam and Olivia met up in 2018 to play together, having bonded over their shared love of the nerdy American guitar rock canon - Pavement, Built to Spill, Television...
Having nothing better to do, they practiced some instrumentals that Niall had written, thinking they'd find a singer eventually to finish everything off and start gigging. Months and months later, no one they'd found seemed to fit.
On the verge of calling it a day, Niall had a (minor) breakdown and decided to give fronting the band a shot, despite never having sung a thing before in his life - not even "Happy Birthday", according to his husband. Everything locked into place, and their bedroom rock sound coalesced into bittersweet hook-filled songs.
Since then, they've played venues across London, including The Old Blue Last and an upcoming headline slot at The Finsbury, and have worked in the studio with Brian O'Shaughnessy (My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream, The Clientele). They've been described by gig attendees as "amazing", "incredible", and "not good with eye contact". Big things are in the works - stay tuned.
