Draft:Cause For Concern

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cause For Concern

Cause For Concern (usually shortened to CFC) are an unsigned four-piece rock band from Bournemouth, England.

History

[edit]

CFC was formed by Stuart Taylor and Alex "Viney" Vine around 2 years ago, having drafted in long-time friends Pete Lawrence and Josh Bird on drums and guitar respectively. However, Pete and Josh later left the band, leaving Stu's brother Rob Taylor to take over the drums. Stu originally took the role of vocalist, but finding this difficult, switched to lead guitar and backing vocals. Geoff Shaw was soon brought in to take over the vocals spot.

CFC proceeded to record their first album "A Cause For Concern". This album went on to mild local success with favourites such as "Yellowstreet", "In Your Way" and "She's Got It All".

In 2006 alone, CFC accomplished a huge amount. Playing alongside great talent in the Bournemouth area as well as supporting R&B superstar Ne-Yo, winning several bandbashes including those at Mr.Kyps & The Joiners, and writing the new material for the upcoming album - they have built up a loyal fan base who have stuck by them every step of the way.

2007 looks set to hold a bright hope for CFC. Their 2nd album, entitled "White Noise" due to be released in Summer '07 comprises of: "Someone", "Ward No.5", "How Much Do You Want To Lie?", "Sinking Below", "After Midnight", "All I Need", "Green Eyes", "Beauty I Know" and a remake of "Yellowstreet".

In 2007, CFC made an appearance on BBC 1 and BBC Radio Solent supporting their charity campaign for Tenovus Cancer Awareness, raising over £1,000 for the cause, in response to a friend of the band who developed Testicular Cancer at the age of 15.
